Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
Great blog! When, so many years ago, I was stationed in Germany as a U.S. Navy officer, I worked with the German Kameraden every day. Their knowledge of English varied, but that never mattered. We had lots of fun “doing” English as well as German. Some literal translations (often intentional) had us in stitches for days – e.g. Wendehecht = turnpike, Du faehrst mich Nuesse = you’re driving me nuts, schrauben = screw (in the erotic sense) etc.
Unforgettable times!

Hello, I am an american woman, and my husband is Irish. We lived in Ireland for 3 years, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. So we are now back in the USA, and I am getting my associates in teaching. With all the nonsense going on over here, I am ready to bail, and my husband said Germany was a very prosperous country. Are you informed on how well a person can make a living with a Bachelors in film and photography there? I am getting my teaching degree and graduate with my associates next year. My husband is the one with the Bachelor’s. I had to convince him to live in the US, and he is very reluctant, but he was ecstatic when I mentioned Germany. He will be here with us in March, and applying for the greencard. I also think America is going downhill, and I don’t want to stick around to long here. Maximum 3 years really. I would love your input!

I don’t know anything about working in film or photography here in Germany, but I do know these two things:
You can make a living here if you speak the language and
The quality of life here in Germany is outstanding.
Moving here would likely be the best decision you ever make. I wish you the best of luck.

Awesome blog! I moved here in December 2013 and can relate with the whole learning language bit! We are in a countryside and the language factor becomes even more important, than it would probably have been had we been in a big city. Sometimes a literal translation has me in splits!! Absolutely enjoying reading your adventures and glad to know someone shares my take on Germany! ;)
