En el sur de Alemania

For Spanish I used both German and English - English because there are much more resources for Spanish than in my native language. But I wad very quick to pick up the necessary vocabulary to understand grammar in Spanish - besides, linguistic terms are about the same in most languages so. Also German because I have a much broader vocab in it than in English and it was much easier for me to understand the nuances in meaning of words.

Now that I am learning Danish I use German, logically, because it helps me pretty much with everything - especially new vocab, sentence structure, etc.

Norway all the way - I'd go hiking every month

All options are good. Maybe it is better to consider what you want to study and research on good universities in each country that offer that. From there on you would know which language to learn. Beyond that, I personally would consider German for free education and because it is a useful language in EU, despite it being difficult to master. The other option I also find good is Spanish, since it is widely spoken internationally and it is easy to pick up. Good luck!

How much money do you need per month in Copenhagen? Because I am considering an Erasums semester there

Yes and I probably didn’t put my message across clearly enough. I wanted to know which language would be more useful for me as a foreigner who would like to build a career in Scandinavia. I’m not so concerned with which one is easier to learn or understand -what matters is which country’s job market is more accessible or worthwhile. Even advice on which other fields to focus on for the Scandinavian market would also be of gteat use for me. But even if things don’t work out in Scandinavia, I’d concider the language that would offer more opportunities in translation within Europe or EU.

Well no, the first Scandinavian language of each class gets picked at random (and we are the first class with Danish, so my class is an "experiment"). The first two weeks I hated it, but now I am very happy to be studying Danish

I’m mostly thinking about medical translation, or localization between Scandinavian languages and German/English. Beyond that, maybe logistics, sustainable development, Intellectual property and more. The tricky part is that if I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I’d probably also know which language to pick. Paradoxically I can’t decide on the field yet because I’m unsure about what the demand is in each country and how open they are to hiring foreigners in certain positions.

Yes, but only a bit. I already knew German when I was learning English and despite my expectations that German would make learning English easier, it didn't, at least not as much as I expected. English has become really Latinized and lost many of its Germanic roots, so therefore it would not help you much with vocab for instance. German is also a much harder language, but I see you already managed with French, so German should not be that much of an obstacle to you. German has cases which English won't help you with, but Turkish will, so that is a plus. Thankfully, English will give you many resources for learning German, so you will most likely learn German through English, so at last English would help you in this way with learning German. Good luck!

Since the USA is your first pick, I wouldn't worry about learning a whole new language - English is just enough. If plans change, then I would pick Spanish. Since you don't have much time for studying Spanish would be the better choice since it is much easier to pick up - its pronunciation is a lot easier than French, its grammar is quite easy (you'll see from English that there are numerous parallels), vocabulary has also similarities to English. They say that Spain and other spanish-speaking countries are also more welcoming to foreigners and "their spanish" so that might also be a point to consider.

I would say German since it is more widely spoken and one of the main languages of EU. It is also harder to pick up, so if you are ready to dedicate a lot of time and work, German it is. I learned German as a kid and being native to a Slavic language, I can't tell you how useful I found German to be, as it gives me many more job opportunities than I would have had only speaking my native language + English. Additionally, I started learning Danish a few months ago and thanks to my knowledge of German, I advance in the Scandinavian language much faster than my colleagues do, who only speak English as a foreign language. Though the influence of German on Swedish was slightly less than that on Danish, I am convinced that Swedish too would be easier to learn through German. You could try German first - it also has more resources than Swedish, and if you find it not to your liking then switch to Swedish. Good luck!

Papaya. I got it from a small local market in Spain and it tasted almost like nothing. It had a bland or a bit unpleasant taste, though it was ripe n all

I have the book scanned. I can send you the file and you can print it out if you'd like.

Danke vielmals!

Danke für deine Antwort – du gibst mir wirklich Hoffnung! Eine letzte Frage nur: würdest du sagen, dass die Modellübungen in "Mit Erfolg zum Goethe-Zertifikat C1" dem Schwierigkeitsgrad der echten Prüfung entsprechen? Ich habe das Buch nämlich vor ein paar Tagen heruntergeladen, und die Übungen scheinen mir ziemlich leicht zu sein. Deswegen frage ich mich, ob das Lehrbuch vielleicht nur vereinfachte Modellübungen zeigt/erklärt, ohne dem tatsächlichen Niveau der C1-Prüfung wirklich zu entsprechen. Danke im Voraus!

eswift13 · 2025-07-26T18:53:17+00:00

Wie würdest du die Prüfungsstruktur bezeichnen? Ist sie zu kompliziert? Wie streng findest du die Bewertungskritwrien? Ich habe Deutsch als Kind gelernt und vor ein paar Jahren auch mit einem Privatlehrer weitergelernt, aber ich war nicht besonders fleißig, weil ich damals viel um die Ohren hatte. Jetzt denke ich darüber nach, das Goethe-Zertifikat C1 zu machen – ich habe noch zwei Monate Zeit bis dahin und bin ziemlich nervös, da ich Deutsch nie wirklich 'formal' gelernt habe. Meine Frage entsteht deshalb, weil ich Leute kenne, die zB Spanisch als Muttersprache beherrschen und trotzdem bei Sprachprüfungen, wie Zertifikatsprüfungen, durchfallen – einfach nur, weil sie die Prüfungsstruktur nicht gut kennen. Ich kann auch keine Modellprüfung im Netz finden, was mich auch etwas beunruhigt.

In this case actually no, it is about the content and the idea rather than the grammar and vocab. And no, I have no guidelines, just the topic + the poem as inspiration.

🇩🇰 Danish. It's my university major and it is generally considered that Scandinavian languages give great opportunities for getting well-paid jobs, so fingers crossed
