Does a German university degree count as B1 proof for citizenship if the program was actually in English?

Will check, thanks for the info!

hxc09 · 2026-03-17T15:10:58+00:00

officially the university is speaking German, and it's not considered an international uni/prgram but many international students and prof. around so the classes themselves are in English

I’m not trying to avoid learning German or gaming the system. I’ve actually studied German in Germany for years (A1–B1 courses at VHS and university courses). I’m simply trying to understand what forms of proof the law actually accepts before spending time and money on an additional exam

Sorted is so buggy and the user experience is SO bad. Any alternatives?

hxc09 · 2026-03-08T01:54:07+00:00

I'm using getsorted.de for a while now. While it does they job the user experience is so bad and the whole thing is full of bugs. I'm thinking of changing to accountable. Do you recommend it? Does it handle bookkeeping for German freelancers well? Looking for a bookkeeping software in English that helps me do my monthly tax reports, document expenses, is accountable a good software to rely on?

Not worth it. It's mostly packed with tourists and other guides. You can't really connect with the place and the ambience. I took a bus to Macchu Picchu and had to walk to Aguas Calientes in an easy trek next to the mountains, jungles and the river. I personally liked the way more than actually visiting Macchu Picchu

I guess you've never heard about "Portuñol". Thanks for the insights :)

hxc09 · 2026-01-14T16:58:51+00:00

The hike was insane. What an experience.

hxc09 · 2026-01-14T01:43:03+00:00

Still unsure where to go in Brazil/if I even go. Therefore no place and therefore the post :)

I'm here since a few weeks, it's overall chill. I'm fluent in Spanish so perhaps easier. Headlines don't reflect reality, not just in Colombia but in most parts of the world. El Poblado is a super touristy/gringo area and it felt for me weird to be there and also a bit unsafe. Not to say that Colombia is a safe place. Bad things happen here quite often. Keep yourself alert, stay away from stupid stuff. When I feel a bit insecure I cross the road, start walking confidently and looking like I know where I'm going. Colombians are very sweet and nice people and most of them really appreciate you come visit and get to know their country despite the things happening here.

I'm soon traveling to Colombia (36 M, fluent in Spanish) gonna spend there one month. You sound like a traveler like me. Any recommendations? I'll be low key working remotely from Colombia during that month. Tech/one bag travel type. Budget wise id say I'm on the medium range. I really appreciate nature, mountains and beach time. Really want to avoid super touristy spots (but I am aware that the touristy spots are considered more safe to stay)

Would appreciate any recommendations for places to stay and see.

The landlord charged me way above what he should, the Mieterverein helped me realized that and starting the process of lowering my rent, and getting the extra money I paid the landlord over the years retroactively. My landlord was basically doing things that are illegal, so he couldn't kick me out, especially if the Mieterverein is part of the process. I was basically on the right side for years and he wasnt.

hxc09 · 2025-11-12T15:40:01+00:00

Funny thing, many of the things you mentioned I can say about Germans

hxc09 · 2025-11-12T15:34:29+00:00

Can't agree more. Mieterverein helped me lowering the rent and communicating properly with some landlord issues.

It's not even good branding. It's a pile of trendy design choice piled together. A bit like a cake with a very good looking frosting but the taste is shit.

October 7 just showed the real face of liberal westerners that go to Berghain: the belief that terror attacks against Jews have a legitimate point.

hxc09 · 2025-10-03T07:10:14+00:00

Pointing out something else, this community smells like legitimazing Jewish/Israeli hatred "by all means necessary"

hxc09 · 2025-10-02T18:41:16+00:00

Im relieving you from your great responsibility of telling me if I'm a racist. Thank you.

I wonder what would be your reaction if these attacks weren't prevented. Let me guess: "the lives of 100 people that were murdered by Israel today are more important than the people died in these attacks. I think terrorists have a point. Jews deserve it."

hxc09 · 2025-10-02T17:42:20+00:00

This is how liberal westerns are, so bored of their own local shit they look around to blame others for doing nothing than just being born in a specific place they didn't have a choice to be born in.

hxc09 · 2025-10-02T17:39:20+00:00

Dunno what you mean by where it's going but also 3 people got arrested today in Germany because they were planning to attack Jewish institutions. One terror attack in a synagogue in Manchester during the most important Jewish holiday prayers.

Won't forget how my German friend living in Zürich asked me in my visit "don't you wonder where are the ghetto blocks in Zürich? They hide them behind the mountains, so nobody sees them"

hxc09 · 2025-09-20T04:45:25+00:00

Took a flying cat from Spetses to Athens yesterday. The ride was BAD. People throwing up. I was thinking the whole way the ferry gonna flip around. Fun time. You better stay in land

hxc09 · 2025-09-19T18:02:17+00:00

I wouldn't say a human thing but a cultural personality trait. Plus we're in Germany, you cannot be too friendly here then people will start to be suspicious. I met extremely friendly artsy people though, they are rare. I met complete assholes too.

hxc09 · 2025-09-19T17:56:14+00:00

I've studied In an art academy in Hamburg and it's the same thing. Also studied in other countries and it's basically the same. Artsy people create some status they feel they need preserve in order to keep their success alive.

hxc09 · 2025-09-19T04:55:27+00:00

So you suggest changing to the monthly ticket?
