8. We want to
help you!
Hi, my name is Michael.
I’m from the United States. I’ve been
studying in Germany for two years
now. When I first got here, I had only
planned on staying for six months. But
I liked it so much here … well, I hope
you end up feeling the same way.
Hello, my name’s Julia.
I come from a small town in northern Germany.
I decided to attend university in the south – a big
step for me. And that’s why I can imagine how
you might feel out of place during your first few
weeks in Germany. I’ll tell you what helped me
back then.
9. And I’m Max.
I’m pretty far along in a master’s
degree programme, in fact, I’ve
almost finished my last semester.
But I clearly remember how I felt
when I began. Everything was new
and strange. I was happy there was
someone around who I could always
turn to for help. That’s why I’m here
today to help you with your questions.
Hello, my name is Taorang.
I came to Germany from China about
eighteen months ago. I was pretty
nervous when I boarded the plane.
But getting started was easier than
I had expected. I’d be happy to give
you some advice.
Hi, I’m Łukasz.
I come from Poland. I’ve been
studying in Germany for six months
and everything’s going just fine.
In the beginning you have to take
care of some formalities, but that
all worked out well for me. I’ll tell
you how.
