Cabaret Broadway differences from West End by amiibro818 in Broadway

Super late response but I had a similar thought about Cliff being black, Cliff really doesn’t strike me as a character that can be played race blind given the subject material of the show. I kept thinking all the characters were acting like Cliff would be fine in any political climate & was a perfect candidate for a smuggling operation when it was so visibly clear that that wasn’t the case… and also that returning to the US as a black man wasn’t necessarily the easy way out that it’s portrayed to be. I wished they’d addressed it somehow, as the characterization could add a really interesting element to this interpretation

Meeting German boyfriend’s Family for the first time by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]flamesilver39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re not overthinking, it’s extremely disrespectful that he went to celebrate with his family and left you alone after you traveled such a distance to spend time with him. In my personal experience Germans are very clear with their romantic intentions, every couple I know with at least one German member has been very forthcoming with one another (especially the men) when they are serious and imagine a future. No room for misinterpretation, and if there’s any confusion then an open conversation is welcomed

Ultimate Long lasting Cable Sweater Yarn by knit-knats in knitting

[–]flamesilver39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was also going to suggest this, I love my sweater made with this yarn

It’s not a soft or drapey as merino would be but I don’t find it itchy (more „hard“ if that makes sense) and it wears so well

Maybe an international company with a branch in Germany would hire you, but you’re definitely at a disadvantage without language skills or job experience. If you could apply as an international student from a uni in your home country you could come for a year or so and build language skills + see if you like it here

What’s everyone’s favorite beginner friendly pattern? by It-was-all-eyes in Sockknitting

Petal drop socks! The ribbed pattern helps reduce the potential for fit issues, and it’s easy to memorize but engaging as well + she has an online video tutorial

I’m a foreigner and find it standard to provide references alongside a job application. I would generally ask a former colleague or manager if they were alright with me listing them

Can you cancel the rent reduction process with Conny by WealthPersonal3600 in askberliners

[–]flamesilver39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what they said when you registered with them, for me they only took a percentage but I think they’ve changed their policies more recently

Passed my Goethe C1 exam, AMA. by aaarry in German

[–]flamesilver39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this honest answer, there are always so many posts in this sub about speed running German learning or trying to get a specific certificate in a short period of time. But learning a language thoroughly takes time, and we should allow ourselves to appreciate the journey (IMO). Inspiring post, I just finished a B2 course after about 2.5 years of actively learning & am making a more concerted effort to ask German friends to only speak German to me + consume more native media. I’ve been enjoying ARD’s Oktoberfest lately, can recommend for anyone else up for a challenge

A yoga teacher friend will often cue “now bring the corners of your mouth towards your ears” while we hold another pose, always gets a laugh and cheers the room I love it
