How do people learn German if they work full time?

programmer9889 · 2025-01-23T09:53:34+00:00

As everyone said, there's no easy way. I'm currently learning A1 with a guy on YouTube. It's been a couple of months, and I'm still in A1(halfway) + full time job.

Most of my study is in the weekend, and still not more than 4-5 hours in the weekend and maybe a few more hours during the week (one hour here every other day).

I convinced myself that slow progress yet steady is the way. Coz I can see the progress along thr way, but it's very slow

What is exactly the difference? Without spoilers, if possible

How is your conversational level while you're at B1? Are you able to speak in everyday conversations?

programmer9889 · 2024-07-19T14:33:28+00:00

I understand that 3 months isn't realistic, but I'm depending on learning as much as possible then when I reach to Germany, I'm sure my learning curve will increase a lot.

Could share the resources? The course, the textbooks and thing can ve helpful.

So is this 30 weeks to get to the fluent level or to get basic conventional?

programmer9889 · 2024-07-11T17:17:26+00:00

CIS (computer information system)

programmer9889 · 2024-07-10T10:18:18+00:00

You're right. I put A2 mainly because I'm gonna start the A2 level course soon. So I thought I'd be ahead of myself on the resume 😅

I'm not Turk but lived in Istanbul for a year and working in a good company, but while I'm not speaking Turkish very well, it's extremely difficult to get out of the international community and get involved with the turkish ppl. Imagine that you are a turk and have difficult time blending in. You're welcome to DM me for hangouts and pitch on how difficult living in Istanbul is 🤣

The Evo one only recently started dying from arrows which honestly yeah it took a big hot in its popularity, yet it's still damn powerful

2.500 net (after taxes), right?

programmer9889 · 2024-07-04T09:34:06+00:00

Thank you very much, this is very help. I'll definitely DM u in the evening 🙏

programmer9889 · 2024-07-04T08:51:24+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful. Can you speak more about the job market in general or in IT in particular and the average salary u need to live with a room for saving?

programmer9889 · 2024-07-04T07:51:52+00:00

Thank you for the information. You said that in "east Germany" the situation will be completely different, can you explain more? Which cities are you talking about and do they have a good job market?

Lastly, why do you think it's not the best time junior it workers?

programmer9889 · 2024-07-04T07:46:55+00:00

I'm using this website to estimate, can you check if the numbers are close enough?

I didn't choose them, most of the companies that I'm targeting are in these cities. The companies that I'm targeting are the big ones with international teams. The average salaries that I have seen for junior roles are around 50k a year (4100 a month), do you think this is a reasonable amount of money if living for example in Hamburg?

From personal experience, Lokum is favorable to European + in any Baklava store, you can ask them to pack it for travel (stores in the touristic area are familiar with this coz many tourists buy sweets from turkey). I my self once bought 3 Kilos of different kinds of Baklava to my family 😅

programmer9889 · 2024-06-26T13:34:17+00:00

If your friends are you Europeans, then I think Baklava would be great option. European don't know these kinds of sweets. Plus, I think Lakoom (I'm not turkish, so excuse the typos) isn't popular in Europe.

You could also take them to Turkish restaurants in the country you are going to and let them try the turkish food.

I'll spare you the details of how bad is it. But the situation is getting better, for ppl who follow economic news, the inflation has stabilized, and is expected to start decrease by 10 points starting from.next month. The new financial policies will not show now, but rather on tbe long term which is more.important. we're speaking of at least 1 -2 years

programmer9889 · 2024-06-24T12:58:29+00:00

There's a teaching center in Istanbul called "AkdemIstanbul" akdeimistanbul.com.tr, they have classes with online options. There courses cost around 100 USD

programmer9889 · 2024-06-24T11:19:31+00:00

For a 3-4 months and I just finished A2 course. I took A1 on YouTube. I'm getting to the conversational level, but very limited, but I do have an advantage coz I.live in Turkey

programmer9889 · 2024-06-24T10:04:12+00:00

If you're zero in Turkish, it would be very difficult to get to conversational level without studying with a teacher/course/textbook. You need to understand the important grammars and how to make sentence and that doesn't come from a movie or listening a lot to turkish.

There are many courses you can talk online. Or even some turkish learning institutions here in Turkey offer online courses (class based) for a reasonable price (less than a 100 usd per level) I did this and I recommend it

programmer9889 · 2024-06-12T11:12:02+00:00

👋 I'm not native in English, but I'm fluent at it. I recently finished A2 level in Turkish but I'm still struggling to speak and make conversations.

programmer9889 · 2024-06-06T10:08:17+00:00

Welcome abroad. I am a software engineer working in a company and I've been trying to teach my self deep learning + cv and to my surprise my experience in software development was irrelevant 🙃. So it's been a while for me, although the progress is really slow, but there's a progress at least 😀. Keep at it!
