These germans just are so formal.
yeah, when it comes to languages... not my cup of tea.

I just smile and ask "Sprechen Sie English?" if I even spelled it right I have no clue

I like this place and Rendsburg too. Kiel was also nice but haven't really seen it that much yet. Kiel is one of the main places where I try to find a job though so if I get lucky I might see lot more.
What're you looking for?

At least as a foreigner you're not expected to be perfect. I like to think that they appreciate it when you try to speak German, even if they speak English.
Once I really needed to make a phone call, but the first lady I talked to didn't understand English. So I tried in German and managed (how badly I butchered it, dunno, but apparently it worked). She didn't have a phone though, so I ended up asking a guy nearby. When I was done, I said "danke", he said "no problem".

I'll take anything at this point.
I am actually technical project manager (IT) so thats my main focus. I really want to have any kind of job at this point so I am also checking all jobs where finnish and/or english (or even swedish) would be needed.

(And for the next trip, I figured out how to make my phone work overseas.
We need to look into getting one of those disposable sim's or something. Can't have our phones because the roaming charges are HUGE on them.

On my first trip I just went to some shop in Hamburg airport and bought prepaid. They also set it up so I didn't have to figure out how to activate it. Simple. I think it was 20€ or something like that.

That's what I did. Only for me it was a bit more complicated since I have Verizon which is a CDMA network. Some of them are CDMA and GSM, so that's what I needed. At the time, there were only a handful, and all but two were smartphones (couldn't afford the data plan at that point). Then insert several hours of researching whether or not that phone would work.
Eventually I finally found someone who had done what I wanted to do. So I had it unlocked (luckily that was easy as calling Verizon and asking them to). And then I just bought a German SIM card off Ebay. Tada. 15 euros got me all the calls/texts I needed. Plus I was due for a new phone anyway - the old one was a piece of crap.

My boyfriend will probably want internet and all that silly stuff too. He may not be able to get it but regardless we still need a basic phone to call everyone we wanted to meet up with while we're in Europe. He will have to buy newspapers and read those instead

Ah cool. I wondered if you could get it there, since I read some stuff about it being complicated for foreigners to get them. Does anyone know if those are at most airports? I might do that next time.
