Meanwhile I studied Business Management but want to do nursing. So I decided to link it up by doing a masters program in Health Care Management or any good course relating to Health Management. I have done part time training as an Auxiliary Nurse here in Nigeria but I intend to do this full time in Europe. Please guide me. Okay. So, nursing or working as a nurse in works a bit differently - first and foremost, to practice nursing, medicine, pharmacy or core fields like that which require very close interactions with the locals (native people), a level of German language proficiency is always required. So, just keep this at the back of your mind. Health Care Management or related courses can be done completely in English language, especially at the Masters level. So, I can honestly tell you that with your Business Management degree, you can easily secure an ission to study Health Care Management or a related course. Send me a DM on Setlinn and I will share some courses/universities with you, so you can look up their requirements.https://setlinn.com//wohks/profile/ That’s the link to my profile monkmike(m): 9:45am On Jul 10, 2022 AlphaT1: That's a good one, however, I am not on Setlinn....plus na North America I dey o, no be Europe ().

I'm nearly going mad here honestly and they are too proud and sometimes pretend like they have no knowledge of English just so you can speak it, and they still kind of get upset when you speak it wrongly, too proud Unlike Poland that are very helpful and are willing to smile at your nonsense way of speaking but still correct you Thank God for fellow expats, at least it makes one less frustrated and you understand they are in your shoes Are you based in ? If you are based in , then I wouldn’t be surprised. But I know Germans, at least in my experience, are the most tolerant when it comes to the language. They listen to you with patience, smile and don’t mind speaking English if you’re are shy to communicate in German. Here’s an evidence to that; a video I made with a Nigerian, who shared her experience with the language in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGnUK-FEM2w Feel free to connect and let’s relate more. monkmike(m): 10:24am On Jul 10, 2022 Transcriber: sehr guht Bruder German is pretty easy to learn, it's very similar to English Father - Vater Mother - Mutter Sister - Schwester Man - Mann Bear - Bär English is like a rip off of German LOL!

M.Sc. programs, tuition-free and in English, are very easy to find in . I am curating a list of them, especially for Africa students. You can check the current list here https://destiney-arkaden.com/university-search/ Use the filter to narrow down the search to your field of interest.

Until you get to the Tenses and Cases aspect then na war I started from A1, hence it was slightly easy but It is definitely not easy at all at all So, what's your plan with the language? Want to study in in German? monkmike(m): 10:58pm On Jul 10, 2022 BrodaAgbaya: NICE Would like to come for a Masters in TUM, Munich but the language barrier has always been a bother for me. How easy was it for you to learn the language and how`s life in Munich or Berlin. I know they are both like Abuja and Lagos respectively. I hope there are good paying jobs for Africans without discrimination You can study in TUM or any other part of without German proficiency, especially at the Master's level. In courses where German language is required at the Master level, it may only be up to A2, which is, in my opinion, easy to attain. Learning German was easy for me; I had the interest and practised as much as possible using all the means exposed to me - neighbours at home, colleagues mini-job, listening to radio stations, watching German TV shows and movies, tandem classes and practising on my own. The secret is simply PRACTICE! Munich vs Berlin; this depends on your field of study or career path. Munich offers more soft works than Berlin. You will find more of Software/IT companies in Munich, and the state generally pays higher than Berlin. However, accommodation and other living costs are quite higher in Munich compared to Berlin. Berlin, on the other hand, has all types of jobs, including Software/IT, and the cost of living is relatively cheaper. Also, Berlin is way more multi-cultural and international than Munich. So, in the end, it really depends on you and what you are looking for.

Do you realize that you are writing in English JUST because we were colonized by England? And that you could have been writing in Portuguese if we were colonized by Portugal. So you may be selling yourself short. I think people have different rates at which they learn a new language. Also, the style of learning also affects how long it takes to grab the language. 1 Like Reply) Help!! Error On Waec Result Costing Me Jobs.
