I use it for helping me learn German but only for explaining things like grammatical rules, concepts, or word uses.
Do not ask it to translate or write something for you. It will make lots of grammatical mistakes. I find that it often misgenders or uses the wrong case for nouns in a sentence.

Then you probably know how prohibitively expensive it can be, especially if you want access to developed nations like in Europe. So this isn’t even an option for the vast majority of American citizens. I know you’re not responding in good faith so I’ll just drop it.
This is also false. You can’t just renounce your citizenship if you want to. To renounce US citizenship you must submit an application and appear in person for affirmation. They will not approve your application if you don’t have a second passport or citizenship somewhere else. They aren’t going to just make stateless people.
This is completely false. US citizens must file taxes and are liable for income taxes no matter where they live.
Edit: I also know this because I recently filed my US taxes from my full-time residence in Germany.
Kong Strong. And it’s like half a euro at my Lidl.
The funny thing about german is you can make new compound words to describe something. It could be a bit nonsensical without context but it should translate roughly to “homeland-retribution-pride”.
Heimvergeltungsstolz?
Definitely learn the articles along with the word. The lack of this in certain learning apps like Duolingo is a major shortcoming.
Also related, I would recommend memorizing verbs with their prepositions. Bitten um, Denken an, Sich freuen auf/über
This show came on alongside another one called The Maxx which is also worth checking out.
He got community-noted for being wrong. Per usual, it’s only a matter of time before he deletes his post.
Haha. I read that a lot, but it’s honestly not so bad as long as you stay away from the Hauptbahnhof. That area is truly awful.
Being an expat still comes with tax obligations to the US, no matter where you live in the world. I moved to Germany but I still have to file US taxes every year unless I renounce my US citizenship someday. That’s one the most notable downsides that I can think of.
I’ll clarify. Not all the prices in Denver are going to be that high since Denver is large. My example from Speer Blvd was likely a worse case scenario since it’s downtown Denver. Not on the edge of the city limits like 9 mile.
You said you can’t imagine the prices being that different in Denver. In some parts, it is. The deals you posted at 9 mile are not representative of Denver as whole. Likewise with the more expensive downtown locations.
Vielen Dank! We really enjoy living here and we are working hard to settle here permanently.
As an American we had the standard 90 day visitor visa, which is basically just proven by showing the stamp you get on your passport when you enter Germany. I recommend applying for your next Visa immediately. Our wait time for an appointment was just short of 90 days. We did the language learning Visa which is good for up to one year and allows you to work up to 20 hours per week. They can’t really track that if you have a remote foreign job, it just hinders you from getting full-time employment in Germany. If you go this route, you can find a job that will sponsor you for a work visa or you can apply for the new Opportunity/Chance Card (Chancenkarte) which is up to a year long “job seeker visa”. If you have an accredited degree then you are eligible, otherwise there is a point system for things like language, age, finances, etc. The Chance Card wait time is pretty long so keep that in mind when planning.
The non-working visas also require you to have €992 per month in a “blocked account” that will be disbursed to you each month for living expenses. If you aren’t working, you’ll need private health insurance. Ours is €50 per person per month and is far better than the Kaiser Permanente insurance that we paid $550 a month for in the US.
I’ve been asking myself that question for years. My wife and I thought the best solution for us was to leave the country. We don’t have a good outlook for the future of the US. We moved to Germany last spring and have been enjoying a healthier and better quality of life. It’s not easy but it is very rewarding. The cost of living here is less than half of what we were paying in the US. Groceries, rent, utilities, insurance, everything is cheaper except eating out at restaurants (that costs pretty much the same). For what it’s worth, we moved from Denver to Frankfurt.
You could just look at their website to see.
As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that’s if they aren’t sold out due to the shortage.
Watched a British 3 episode possession miniseries (basically movie length) called The Enfield Haunting. I liked it. Easy watch with likable characters, some laughs, decent acting, and a good story. I’d recommend it for Sunday movie vibes.
