hi all,
my name is Tom Nov, I'm 28yr old and *currently* living in Israel. I've been lurking this site ever since SC2 came out and for the past few month started participating in the discussions.

I always disliked Israel (mainly the weather, the poor infrastructure, the theocracy and the constant war), so I decided, since I have a German passport, to move to Germany as soon as I finish University.
now that I finished my B.sc in computer science, I booked a flight to Munich on 13/04. I would appreciate any help from the German guys here in finding an apartment, getting a job (I worked in Intel for 3.5 years) and getting along in general, I also would love to make new friends to hang out with (it is easier when we already have a common interest in Starcraft)

If you want to help, or hang out with me when I get there, just comment here or PM me.

thank you all, and gl hf gg

I can speak a little, I'm planning to learn when I get there, as it is a lot easier to earn a language when everyone around you speaks it

Meanwhile please watch some shows or listen to some songs in German or read some books or internet sites, anything.

There's a German music discussion thread here :D

If your level is really quite low, I recommend listening to Michel Thomas Advanced and Vocab. He teaches the structure, relates things to English making me understand it really well. Damm useful along with talking to people.

Always useful to get a head start and don't wait around.
Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

i found german pretty easy once you got the grammar down solid, the vocabulary just takes some time as with any other language

Also i love Germany! I want to go back to Berlin so bad, but we're more likely to go back to Münich for Oktoberfest this year again! Good luck OP!

Yaya and they insisted "Hahaha.. nein... mit dem Umlaut" after I typed in munchen right after they showed their disapproval of the "Munich" I used.

What's the difference anyways? Besides the language.

For example, I was told Peking = Beijing before pinyin was introduced. And I've got a feeling it's a pronunciation of some Chinese dialect too.

This is an English forum, so I guess it's normal to write "Munich" instead of "München".
