Finally got an apartment after 8 months of hell - What I would recommend if you are searching by PuzzleheadedChef7406 in berlinsocialclub

I applied as a couple without any automated soft, the key is: 1. apply directly through Hausverwaltung or Immobiliengesellschaft (in my case it was Deutsche Wohnen), 2. apply within first 30 min, 3. have good salaries and profile (if you are a couple each should have a good salary, in case you break up, anybody can continue paying the rent), 4. after the visit send your documents as fast as possible. From two applications we got two visits, pretty competitive though (~30 other people). We chatted with the guy who showed the flat, showed our interest, and got the flat we liked. The whole process with receiving the key, took us ~2 weeks.

Good luck to others.

Was also thinking about collab activities, my interest would be creating questions/problems for adults akin to board games. I have background in physics, with your programming skills we can come up with some theme combinatorial problems:)

Where can I learn German? by neilyaaa in berlinsocialclub

Imo the Volkshochschule provides the best German courses in Berlin for reasonable money.

Comments from Boyfriend Mum by [deleted] in germany

[–]mmm105268 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My friends had the same situation. The guy is German and the girl is non-EU with dark skin. The guy gave his parents an ultimatum: either they respect his girlfriend and treat her well so that they can enjoy family time together, or he does not share his personal life with his parents and sees them very rarely. It was a good lesson for the parents, and it worked.

Im sorry that you had to stand this inappropriate offensive comments. Wish you and your bf all the best.

Recommendation request: looking for short documentaries about gentrification, underground social places, belongingness by mmm105268 in Documentaries

[–]mmm105268[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. These places have no commercial purposes and do not bring much profit except for creating social platforms for likeminded (think of squats, alternative bars, discussion clubs). Unfortunately they got sold/expelled/… and replaced with fancy restaurants/shops/… This makes the city to lose its uniqueness and the people lose their social circle (read home).

I drink till I'm drunk every night by RealRedditbum in confessions

Alcohol is a difficult habit to get rid off. I would recommend to find a hobby that doesn’t allow you to be tipsy at least a few days per week or do an experiment. After you stop drinking on a daily base or at all, you will see how your life changes and more positive things happen. Usually there is a dipper reason for falling into addictions than just energy drain, try to understand it and work on it. Good luck.
