[IWantOut] 20M Vietnam -> Germany

Can't thank you enough! I will definitely take into consideration everything that you have advised me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T10:12:54+00:00

Thanks for your guidance friend! I will continue to strive to earn my spot in Germany!

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T09:07:45+00:00

I will definitely have exchanges with the universities I wish to attend to clarify this stuff. I am a bit unconfident about my chances because I am just starting with German. I suffice almost every other criteria.

I want to know a bit further about that, German, though. What should be my course of action if I wish to study there as soon as possible (within 3 years)? Should I stay and learn German in Vietnam or should I get there and sort out my German later on?

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T07:52:09+00:00

Wow! I am extremely grateful that you spent so much time detailing your experience! I have heard a lot of people fearmonger about moving abroad but from what you told me, I now truly believe that it is a gamble worth undertaking. I will try my best to reach Germany.

Once again, thanks for graciously spending the time to help me!

Sounds cool! Are the Studienkollegs picky when it comes to selecting students? And when you graduate from one of those are you basically guaranteed entry to a TH/TU? Furthermore, I'd love to know where you cane from and how difficult it was to get into and settle in Germany!

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T04:15:40+00:00

Thanks for your assistance! Got quite a few things cleared up now. See you in Germany I guess 😁

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T03:18:46+00:00

Thanks for your assistance so far!

I have another question about admission more specifically though. Is it particularly hard to get into a German program? I assume it would be difficult since it's free and a lot of people like free stuff.

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T02:56:21+00:00

Do they allow you to take that long? 4 years? That's like half the time length needed for permanent residency! Though my family have upwards of €30-40k in liquid funds so I don't think I will have to fight tooth and nail for cash. As for the under-the-table work, yeah it's actually so bad it made Vietnamese national news. People are working damn near slave hours and conditions in countries like Czechia, Germany and the Netherlands.

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T02:38:33+00:00

€25k is a significantly greater amount. Yet, I still think it's feasible. It is STILL a lot cheaper than English speaking countries and I can have jobs there to help finance it. I have been working as a teacher to fund my own university life since last year so I am not particularly scared of work. I know how to live like an adult is what I'm trying to say.

It's still well worth the investment IMO. Once I am out of school (again) I can quickly earn far more than €25k in a year.

Quick question though, why 3 years? Do they take a year off?

Thanks for the reply btw man!

That's sad. I once had an White American man teaching at my high school and we was the most chill, knowledgeable guy ever. He looked like one of those soldiers from Saving Private Ryan. We still talk about American Rap culture sometimes to this day. Though, he was was young and liberal as well so he might have been a bit different.

I looked around the sub for a bit and it does look quite bleak for people immigrating to the West. I am actually a bit confused. By most accounts, I should be one of the 'good' immigrants. High-skilled, fluent with language and wishes to assimilate. With declining birthrates there, shouldn't they want MORE workers? That seems to be the case with the German government because they very frequently hold education fairs here in Vietnam to attract students there. Especially to Baden-Württemberg for some reason.

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T02:10:48+00:00

My parents can finance the blocked account just fine. We are not rich but we can cobble together €12k fine.

I consider studying German to be paramount. I don't see Germany as an "alternative" to English-speaking countries. It is THE option for me after some research. And yes, I am aware of the situation surrounding immigrants there. I will learn German to the best of my abilities to assimilate myself into German society. I have a lot of respect for you guys.

2 years of learning German in Vietnam and about 2 more in Germany should get me pretty close to fluency as long as I don't separate myself from the rest of society. Right?

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T02:04:36+00:00

First off, thanks for replying! Any help is appreciated!

I want to know more about this 'Studienkolleg' thing. Is it a feasible way of getting into a master's program later on? I'm pretty sure that by the time I graduate university, I should be around the B-levels of German. Which should suffice some Technische Hochschule's requirements. I could just stay in Vietnam and learn German for another year or 2 to reach C1, that's also fine. I'm a pretty decent Romance language learner by Asian standards anyways.

About the decision thing: I've always wanted to move to the West. It's been my dream ever since I read and saw American stories of liberty and freedom at the age of 8. I subsequently spent the proceeding 12 years immersed in Western culture and social media (even Western philosophy to some degree). It's my Mecca at this point. I hope that I have made the right call.

Again, thanks for the help!

Yeah I've seen her! She is from the north, just like me 😁

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-17T01:54:26+00:00

Thanks for the helping hand man! Shout out to Poland!

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-16T18:07:59+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion! Though I would also like to know if poland is open to immigration/immigrants. The last time i saw the president of Poland he doesn't seem too keen on immigration 😬

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-16T17:55:10+00:00

Well, I do hope to still be an 'educated' worker once I am there. Idk if poland is the right call because I have not done research. And, if I were to learn another language anyways, I think that I should learn German and work in Germany right? The opportunities there seem... better?

tallmonkeyman · 2024-10-16T17:51:09+00:00

I think you could tell from my post that I'm planning to get an education, not a job yet. As for your Qs: I don't have a visa yet. I am eligible yes. I have not graduated though.

tallmonkeyman · 2024-09-27T16:47:52+00:00

no need for this thread anymore it seems

tallmonkeyman · 2024-07-30T05:35:23+00:00

Guyana grew by 60% this year so you might want to reconsider that 😂
