Does anyone randomly know the names of the kinds of sparrows in northern Germany?

Or even better, have a digital bird identification guide auf Deutsch?

There's a small gray-blue species of sparrow that I see/hear all the time in Kiel. They start singing as soon as the sun comes up

[mild cosmos]

The problem with undertaking learning a language without taking any courses is that you end up with a very piecemeal understanding and ability. For instance, now that I'm in an actual German course, it's obvious that grammar structures are much more heavily emphasized in courses than I was able to motivate myself to do while learning on my own, and for very good reason

Now it feels like I'm way behind the others in grammar and it's not a very nice feeling

All I can do is continue practicing though, which sorta precludes complaining

[opal sequoia]

That's somewhat surprising though because usually when I hear about people's experiences with German courses, the grammar part is really slow.

Like a semester just to learn A1 grammar or stuff like that.

[mild cosmos]

The thing is, I placed at a B2 level in the placement test

And most of the others placed at B1 last semester and had that entire semester to iron out any confusion about things like conjugation of irregular verbs, the more complicated tenses, and adjective endings, all of which are still problems for me

[opal sequoia]

Do you have any ideas why you have trouble with them?

[mild cosmos]

As far as I can tell it comes down in large part to two things: the fact that I used grammar textbooks from the resources list which are written in English, and the fact that I learned in large part with the intention of being able to pass the Goethe/Hueber/TestDaF B2 exam hoping that it would be enough to get me through the Einstufungstest for the Uni here.

And those tests don't emphasize grammar structures as much as overall understanding

[opal sequoia]

But is there some aspect of your study technique or learning style that may be making it harder for you to retain the information?

It might help if you can identify that.

Technically the grammar part should be the easiest part to self-learn, in my opinion.

Because speaking and colloquialisms and vocab are the parts that can be difficult to access without working with other people.

[mild cosmos]

True. That's an entirely different can of worms though, namely that learning grammar is something I have to really force myself to do because of how boring/frustrating I find it. Reading, writing, and speaking aren't really problems for me, other than that my writing generally needs heavy revision after the initial first draft (although that's true of any writing in any language)

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

I see, it makes sense.

I don't think you are as far away from understanding as you think. You probably just need to sit down and do the reading.

And practice.

[mild cosmos]

I figure that if I can get through 5 pages a day in this book, I'll be much closer to the level of the others when I finish it in about a month

Some of the stuff I probably won't really need to practice, so it may not even take an entire month

[opal sequoia]

Oh sure, a month should be more than enough.

For the concepts you mentioned.

In fact, I think someone could reasonably learn up to B2 grammar in a month from A0 with some dedication, so you can definitely do it from B2.

And I recommend asking some people here to do practice with you because it will help you even more.

[mild cosmos]

Yep; I haven't been that active here for a few weeks now because of all the stuff I've needed to get organized and trying to orient myself in the Lektorat, but the routine has settled and now it's time to work.

[opal sequoia]

[shy bobcat]

[mild cosmos]

@whole rapids Passt dein Name wortwörtlich? ;) Weil ich muss Passiv beherrschen. Und wie ich das verstehe, man braucht Hilfe von jemandem, nicht bei jemandem. Sonst bedeutet deine Aussage etwas.... komplett anders. :P

z.B. wenn wir bei dir Zuhause waren, und ich habe mein Bein gebrochen, dann würde ich bei dir Hilfe brauchen

[whole rapids]

@mild cosmos ich meinte, ob du Hilfe mit dem Passiv brauchst. Man kann auch "bei" statt "mit" mit "helfen" und "Hilfe" verwenden.

[mild cosmos]

Obwohl ich kann schon Hilfe mit Passivzeitformen brauchen. XD

can I ask a question about memorising words please?

on lingvist I reached about 2800 words so far in the best 5 months. however, I am not getting them all right during revision. Instead of ein..... I type an...., or ver.... I type er... etc. I mix and confuse a few hundred at least. what should I do? any advice?

another example: anstand (wrong) instead of abstand

read texts? maybe that could help

Then you get used to the context each word is usually used in

guys, does this look oki?

[full falcon]

Does it do passive yet

[ocean robin]

xD

[whole rapids]

The perspective seems off

The horse's legs look too long for its body size

[ocean robin]

yeeeah

i hate perspective x.x

[whole rapids]

I think it's just the proportions of its body

Head looks good

[ocean robin]

the legs are two heads long

hmm

[proper shale]

theres another perspective line you draw

ask foxxo about the 3 axis

but theres another line you can draw connecting the front to the back uhh

also

the legs look the right length. different breeds have different proportioins but neck loos like it can be a tad longer

remember like they bend their neck down and extend their head and that makes their mouth touch the ground

ehh

it looks good so far tho flappy :3

[ocean robin]

yay then

[ocean robin]

[proper shale]

!!!!

[sudden panther]

[hot cloak]

Idk about horses but i feel that the front legs are a bit too close to each other - wondering how it would keep stability

You can pm foxxo to ask

[topaz venture]

It doesn’t need stability church

It’s a drawing

[hot cloak]

We’re going for realism

[opal sequoia]

Well rather than the distance I think the main problem is the length/width and shading. The way the front legs are drawn makes the farther leg look closer and bigger than the closer one.

But to be fair, leg proportions can be tricky.

[ocean robin]

Well shading with a pen is fokken tricky.

[opal sequoia]

Yes it is.

[whole rapids]

Warum hat das Pferd blaue Socken an?

[thick charm]

No idea how you call these in English though

[topaz venture]

Legs

[ocean robin]

[topaz venture]

Shouldn’t those be bandages for stability?

So their feet don’t go willy nilly everywhere and just break off

[ocean robin]

These are more to protect the horse

[sudden panther]

To protect a horse simply keep it in a cage its whole life. Can't get hurt if you're not exposed to any danger.

Do you think the czech or vietnamese L would be more similar to the german one?

Ah arrem

Halp D:

[sudden panther]

I don't know the Vietnamemese L.

Though if you want a good answer, the German L is the most similar to the German L. Don't settle for an approximation, learn the real thing.

[opal sequoia]

What is Czech L?

[hot cloak]

I can’t grasp the sound of the german L.

Idk base, my ears suck

[keen snow]

can you record it?

[opal sequoia]

It's just the same as English L isn't it?

Is Czech even different?

[hot cloak]

I think there are two different Ls in Czech

one is palatalized and one is not

Someone told me it’s the dark L 🤔

Idk what palatalized it

that's a Slavic thing

also present in Irish somehow

I still dont know :D

@keen snow where can i record it?

Hallo Leute! This is a random question but if anyone who can speak fluent German (and by “fluent” I mean knows enough to hold conversations) message me if you got a Ps4? Cause I have one german friend on ps4 but since he’s in Germany the time difference from there and the US is annoying 👎🏼. I learn a lot better when I speak verbally with someone in german rather than messages. So if you got a Ps4 and are willing to hang out, play some games and help me practice my german just shoot me a message! Dankeschön! 😃👍🏼🎮

[hot cloak]

could you explain this pls?

[keen snow]

Oh dude bro lives there.

@shy anchor

[lavish saddle]

Oh

I can do this quickly

Beantown
refers to the regional dish of Boston baked beans. According to Boston-Online.com, back in colonial days, a favorite Boston food was beans baked in molasses for several hours. Sailors and traders called it "Beantown" while the locals did not refer to their city by that nickname

The Hub
is a shortened form of a phrase recorded by writer Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Hub of the Solar System.[1] This has since developed into The Hub of the Universe.

America's Walking City
was given due to Boston's compact and high density nature, which has made walking an effective and popular mode of transit in the city. In fact, it has the seventh-highest percentage of pedestrian commuters of any city in the United States, while neighboring Cambridge is the highest.

The Cradle of Liberty
derives from Boston's role in instigating the American Revolution. Also a nickname of Philadelphia

those are all of the nicknames

Is there anything else that doesn't make any sense @hot cloak ? 😄

[hot cloak]

thanks so much kelsey!! ❤ can you tell me more about the hub? whos O. W. Holmes?

[lavish saddle]

this is the only other thing I think that could be a tad confusing, this is New England, USA

@sudden panther ana would you have time to explain some slides about new england to me rn?

[keen snow]

Sure.

[keen snow]

Baked beans, chowder, lobster.

New England is huge on seafood.

Getting lobster there right off the boat is common, and super popular.

[hot cloak]

ohhhh

whats chowder?

[keen snow]

Chowder is a cream based soup that generally has clams in it, but over time it has evolved to literally have anything. As long as it is cream based. However, in New England, just clam chowder.

Or New England Chowder

It also really depends on where you go in said states, too.

It's like...sausage in Germany.

[hot cloak]

i see!

[keen snow]

Also, lobster roles are good thing to bring up with the lobster.

[hot cloak]

ariiii!!

[keen snow]

Which are very common in Boston.

[shy bobcat]

idk
sausage is universal in germany
there's no such thing as "arizona style chowder"

[keen snow]

Basically: Seafood.

Yeah, but I said NEW ENGLAND.

Hence.

"Said states"

[shy bobcat]

😄

[hot cloak]

i googled the north end

oh nvm this slide

[keen snow]

Like North End of boston>

Oh ok

[hot cloak]

whats so typical bostonish about this?

[keen snow]

Old houses.

Boston is super historical.

[hot cloak]

icic

[keen snow]

It had major importance in the beginning of America.

Basically, it is one of the oldest cities in NA.

[shy bobcat]

that looks either like boston or england so yeah 😄

[hot cloak]

and this?

[shy bobcat]

🤔

what is that

[keen snow]

Looks like an old farm house.

That is how old farmsteds looked.

[hot cloak]

so if it looks like england and is in america, its new england?

[keen snow]

Like really really old.

I mean, kinda.

Remember that New England was part of England.

Till the revolution.

A lot of battles happened around there also.

You're looking at the most historic area imo of America, it is very interesting.

If you ever get time read up about it.

Well, in regards to the formation of America.

[hot cloak]

whats the newest part?

[keen snow]

The Newest part of America?

Or New England?

Everything to the west gets younger and younger in regards to colonization, mainly due to the fact that NA is a massive land mass.

But it is still pretty old,.

[hot cloak]

icic

[keen snow]

It was also super dangerous to cross.

That is where that cowboy fun stuff comes up.

[shy bobcat]

🤠 😄

[keen snow]

I always wonder how cowboys always got tons of women, they must've smelled so badly.

[shy bobcat]

everyone would have smelled badly, it's the old west

[keen snow]

Trueeeee.

Just the stench of people. Icky.

Still consider though Suzu, that while I am saying theyre younger they're still pretty old.

[prime remnant]

That's basically the stench of everything before the 20th century though

[keen snow]

But in comparison to Europe we are babies.

[hot cloak]

yeah, "old" is somewhat different in europe

[keen snow]

Yeah.

I mean there are natives, but many NA natives didn't have written language.

SA natives and CA did.

Many resorted to just using the latin alphabet to write.

[prime remnant]

Well it's mostly just the Mayans

[keen snow]

Even then, the English had to come and give it to them.

The Aztecs did.

SA Natives were super advanced.

[prime remnant]

While I love my family, the NA natives were still hunters and gatherers.

They never really settled.

So they never really advanced because peoples that move don't

[prime remnant]

They didn't really rely on a lot of other materials than stone though didn't they

[keen snow]

Though they did have some agriculture.

They did.

They actually became so advanced that one of their cities collapsed.

[prime remnant]

But I reckon they were advanced in many aspects.

[keen snow]

Because they couldn't support their population.

Not enough food.

They lidorally built a city on water

That is now where Mexico City is.

[nocturne frost]

bless them

'we have this land, or we could use this water instead'

🤔

[prime remnant]

Bless them very much indeed

[keen snow]

Also: they had the most advanced way of child birth.

Compared to the Europeans.

Which is very odd.

[hot cloak]

are you american, kannes?

[keen snow]

Also: Matriarchal Society.

Which is smarter, easier to follow bloodlines.

[prime remnant]

Lel does my English look that native

@hot cloak No heh

[keen snow]

C1 level, at least.

I haven't heard you speak, though.

[prime remnant]

Would you like to though

[whole rapids]

use a fancy word

[keen snow]

Sure, I don't mind.

What is your mother tongue?

[keen snow]

Well, one of those are hot wings.

[hot cloak]

neither looks like a steak to me?

[keen snow]

The upper left.

They thinly slice the meat.

[hot cloak]

thats called a steak????????

[keen snow]

Nah, steaks are still FULL pieces of meat.

But they cook it then cut it.

The cut is still steak

[hot cloak]

oh!

[keen snow]

Bottom right looks liike perogi.

[shy bobcat]

what's perogi

[fair iron]

Like pierogi, but cheaper.

[shy bobcat]

[keen snow]

ha ha.

Anyway, they are really good.

[prime remnant]

[hot cloak]

whats pierogi???

[keen snow]

But they're native to Europe.

A dumpling filled with cheesey mashed potatoes.

Can have meat inside of them.

I like to fry mine with Bacon and onions.

[hot cloak]

that sounds good tbh

[keen snow]

Serve with sour cream and some cheese on top.

They can be served just boiled or boiled then panfried.

[hot cloak]

sounds a bit like pelmeni

russian dumplings

[keen snow]

Well, they are native to the area.

Eastern Europe.

[hot cloak]

oh icic

[keen snow]

They're not an NA dish.

We just kinda took it. 😛

[hot cloak]

hahaha

[prime remnant]

Original NA dishes

[keen snow]

Poutine.

Saskatoon Berry Pie.

Beaver Tails.

Philly Cheese steak

[prime remnant]

Tater tots?

[keen snow]

Nanaimo bars.

[nocturne frost]

sloppy joe

deep dish pizzas

although

[keen snow]

Deep dish is a sin.

[nocturne frost]

pizzas in america are a bad idea

[shy bobcat]

deep dish pizza is not a dish

[keen snow]

They are yeah.

[nocturne frost]

I actually

[shy bobcat]

[keen snow]

It is very gross.

[keen snow]

To be fair the winters here back in the day were rough.

[nocturne frost]

for thin pizza go closer to italy

[keen snow]

People had to fookin survive.

[nocturne frost]

or actual italy

[keen snow]

Not so much anymore.

[nocturne frost]

the closer you are to italy, the better your pizza tastes

[prime remnant]

Very nice insulation I presume

[keen snow]

That is why Chowder was a big deal.

[nocturne frost]

its just a fact

[keen snow]

Or stews.

[prime remnant]

Chowder is good though

[nocturne frost]

meatloaf

[keen snow]

Yeah, puts meat on your bones.

Meat loaf is just a big meatball.

Tbf.

[hot cloak]

my teacher added this to the presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=25&v=LaA5dNFrFMI

[nocturne frost]

[keen snow]

LOL

[nocturne frost]

lmfao

[keen snow]

STOPPPPPPP

NOOOOOOO

[nocturne frost]

big goo cheese

[prime remnant]

Casserole lel

[keen snow]

I dont want to type out an exam plan.

Casserole is so American it hurts.

You can make lidorally anything into Casserole.

Even French toast.

[hot cloak]

why do i feel that usa just takes everything, makes it bigger and renames it lol

[keen snow]

They do.

[nocturne frost]

casserole is just stolen from europe

[keen snow]

NEW york.

[ocean robin]

Wait you say casserole in English?

Wot?

[keen snow]

Yes.

[nocturne frost]

no we say stew

[ocean robin]

How many French words have you stolen in English?

[keen snow]

There is lidorally a york in Toronto.

[ocean robin]

[keen snow]

Floppy, you made us speak French tbf.

[ocean robin]

[keen snow]

The French hated English.

[ocean robin]

[keen snow]

Made all docs into French.

So only the educated could read.

[ocean robin]

wow

[prime remnant]

Every dish is stolen tbh

[nocturne frost]

lmfao the implication that british people were fucking stupid

[keen snow]

That is why English has so many French words.

Basically, yeah Hecke

lol

Actually, the noodles that were stolen from the Chinese aren't even the same chemically

Which is super cool.

[prime remnant]

Chinese noodles are stolen from Central Asia

Although that probably traces back to 4000+ years ago

[keen snow]

Doesn't china own a lot of central asia now tbf

And with the huns owning like

most of that area for years

[nocturne frost]

isnt china literally central asia

[keen snow]

isnt china the world

[nocturne frost]

thats russia

silly ana

[prime remnant]

They think they are

[shy bobcat]

"casseroles" how americans do them are vile though

😩

[nocturne frost]

^

fucked fucked fucked

[keen snow]

Tbh all of the west coast of Canada is fuckign chinese

it is insane

lidorally no english

[prime remnant]

That's actually true it hurts

[keen snow]

The chinese are fucking up the economy there.

Because they're buying land while staying in China IN Vancouver.

Which is boosting all the land prices.

They shouldn't be allowed to do that.

[nocturne frost]

lmfao

[prime remnant]

Land prices go berserk wherever Sinophere people go

[nocturne frost]

a bunch of rich people just going

[prime remnant]

Hongkongers included

[nocturne frost]

'ey lets fuck with some natives'

[keen snow]

Basically.

It is happening in Toronto now.

[prime remnant]

It's a cultural thing.

[keen snow]

Tbh, they shouldn't be allowed to.

It is making the lives of Canadians super hard.

[prime remnant]

Renting an apartment for life is considered a disgrace in Chinese culture

For some reason

[nocturne frost]

renting is for teenagers and those who cant get their life together apparently

[hot cloak]

renting an apartment for life is normal in germany

[keen snow]

Dude it is 800 just to rent a room

[nocturne frost]

is it?

[prime remnant]

I precisely like Germany for that

[keen snow]

In an apartment with 3 others

[nocturne frost]

@hot cloak could you confirm please

or any other native

[hot cloak]

wow thats so expensive D:

[keen snow]

Yeah.

Most jobs you only make 1500 a month.

MAYBE.

[prime remnant]

@sudden panther Hah try Hong Kong

[keen snow]

Then you have your taxes.

[hot cloak]

omfg, half goes to the rent

[keen snow]

Your car, bus pass, food(which is also taxed)

[nocturne frost]

half your pay going to rent is pretty normal

[keen snow]

Yeah but for just a ROOM.

[nocturne frost]

like, for most teenagers

[keen snow]

In a tiny apartment

With 3 others?

1500 is above min wage too.

Which no one actually gets. 👀

[nocturne frost]

move to ger ana banana

[hot cloak]

300 euro for a room in germany

[keen snow]

Im gonna.

Fook dis place man.

[nocturne frost]

you'll start culinary trends because nobody there knows how to cook

[keen snow]

Apparently they don't have tacos.

[hot cloak]

germans like italian food

pasta

[keen snow]

What a lawless land.

[shy bobcat]

they don't have tacos

[nocturne frost]

oh yeah, you have to make your own taco shells

[shy bobcat]

😱

[nocturne frost]

which kinda sucks

[keen snow]

I can make tortillas.

[nocturne frost]

oh hey we can work out a deal

[keen snow]

I have the press.

[hot cloak]

oh i tried my first taco yesterday

[nocturne frost]

my mom can import them for us in care packages

[keen snow]

If i had irl friends Id cook all the time.

[prime remnant]

It apparently costs 60k HKD (€6k) to buy a single square feet in one of the newest flats in Hong Kong

[nocturne frost]

llmao

[keen snow]

That is cause HKD is lidorally over populated.

Canada isn't.,

[hot cloak]

hahah bye hong kong

[keen snow]

There is no demand for that space.

It is just high because fuck you

[cyan spire]

i pay 390€ for a 50 m² two-room apartment 😄

[keen snow]

K moving to germany.

[cyan spire]

alright 😄

[hot cloak]

lingui!!

question

[cyan spire]

@hot cloak linguini! ^o^

[hot cloak]

is it normal for germans to rent an apartment for life?

like not buying it

[prime remnant]

I'm IN Germany and I want to move to Germany

[nocturne frost]

I want to know that suzu

[cyan spire]

@hot cloak well especially among young germans yes

[keen snow]

You can buy an apartment?

[nocturne frost]

yes but not for life

you can!

[cyan spire]

@keen snow yes

[nocturne frost]

you can buy a home!

!!

[keen snow]

Weird.

I don't really want a home, a home means life long debt in canada.

[hot cloak]

i asked for you hecke^^

[prime remnant]

Isn't the housing market a bit awry in DE these days too

[nocturne frost]

for pretty cheap actually, I checked a few years ago, the prices were very very low for good areas and good space

a home in ger is prolly different

[keen snow]

Also: no credit no house

Ever

[nocturne frost]

espc with a stable job

[keen snow]

So you have to wait till youre like 27.

[prime remnant]

There's mort in mortgage so

[hot cloak]

haha

[nocturne frost]

pf

la petit mort

[cyan spire]

well in germany if you buy a house, you pretty much sit on your debts for a long time too ..

[hot cloak]

hecke, du boese

[nocturne frost]

I think thats the case for everyone who isnt immediately rich

<3

[keen snow]

I just dont plan to have a family, really, so I dont see a point for a house.

At least, not right now.

[nocturne frost]

its just nice to have space sometimes

[hot cloak]

exactly

[nocturne frost]

I really want a garden for example

like when I'm in my 30s ofc

but still, its something to aim for

[keen snow]

I would love a garden, one day.

[nocturne frost]

dude with a fucking glass house

what're they called

[keen snow]

I also want a regular guy

Greenhouse

[nocturne frost]

that propogate tomato growth

yes!

[prime remnant]

That's it I'm moving to DE

Who doesn't want a regular guy

[keen snow]

By regular I mean

[prime remnant]

(Except those who don't like guys)

[keen snow]

I can call him a fuck head and he would call me a fucker back.

And do memes.

[prime remnant]

Yes very much yes please

[cyan spire]

@prime remnant depends on the area ... it west-germany its pretty hard to find an apartment for a reasonable price

[keen snow]

I once met up with a guy and handed him a meme on paper.

[nocturne frost]

I love doing memes with my guy

[keen snow]

We didn't talk after that.

That is fine, he is not a memer.

[cyan spire]

at least these are my experiences @prime remnant

[nocturne frost]

shit guy

[keen snow]

Weed out the bad ones by sending them memes.

[prime remnant]

@cyan spire Try me airbnbing €690 for a month in Heidelberg

[nocturne frost]

there are people who do that

[cyan spire]

@prime remnant south germany is gonna rip a big whole in your pocket. not recommended

[nocturne frost]

like me if I got desperate

[prime remnant]

ripped

it has been ripped

[cyan spire]

@prime remnant try those not so overrated cities

[keen snow]

What are housing opportunities like in Austria?

Cheaper?

[nocturne frost]

ohhhh

[cyan spire]

@keen snow nope

[prime remnant]

I can't I'm literally doing a practicum here lol

[nocturne frost]

someone moving near arremu

[hot cloak]

similar i would guess ana

[keen snow]

Idk.

Idk where I want to move.

[nocturne frost]

ask real arrem

[keen snow]

I just want to be in the EU.

[hot cloak]

ana is real arrem

[keen snow]

France, Germany, or Austria.

[nocturne frost]

I like west germany because of the cluster of major cities there

[prime remnant]

@keen snow WHO DOESN'T

[cyan spire]

@prime remnant ... have you thought about sharing an apartment with a couple of people? thats what young germans usually do

[keen snow]

Wrong Arrem dood.

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost i dont like the "ruhrpott"

[keen snow]

I am nootnoot.

[nocturne frost]

lmao

is that what they call it

[prime remnant]

@cyan spire I'm only staying for a month. I'm sure I'll find something on WG-Gesucht if I were here for a semester or something

[keen snow]

Tbh I lived in the middle of nowhere most of my life, I want to live in or around a city.

[prime remnant]

And tbh those are quite affordable

[keen snow]

With transport.

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost well the ruhrpott are those cities that pretty close to each other like Essen, Düsseldorf, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund etc.

[keen snow]

Or somewhere I can ride a bike.

[nocturne frost]

yes I love those

oh ana

please

try somewhere in middle ger

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost dunno i dont like the urban environment there lol

[nocturne frost]

leipzig is beautiful, lots of bikers there because its very open

[keen snow]

ooooo

[nocturne frost]

same for a lot of central places

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost and also the coal boom is way gone. ruhrpott used to be very rich area during the 70s throughout the 90s due to the high demand for coal

[nocturne frost]

if you really want a city though, that western cluster that linguist suggested

oh I know, I dont mind that

Its a shitty area in some respects

and I saw that, andI still have a love for it so

I guess I'm good

[prime remnant]

Leipzig is affordable yus

[nocturne frost]

leipzig is so so pretty

[keen snow]

I lidorally live in an area burnt out due to recession

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost i live in Kassel and its actually quite nice. took me a while to get used to the vibe there

[nocturne frost]

a good uni too

[keen snow]

That's fine e lol

[nocturne frost]

whereabouts is kassel?

[prime remnant]

The only thing about Ruhrpott I know is that Düsseldorf has a lot of good Japanese food

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost oh yeah i actually thought about maybe doing my master in leipzig. apartments are dirt cheap there

[nocturne frost]

düsseldorf is an asian hub

lots of choice for asian food and markets

leipzig was like a dream when I went

literal perfect city, not crowded like most

[hot cloak]

more japanese than asian

[nocturne frost]

beautiful, cheap

lots of ammenities readily available

lots of museums and exhibits affiliated with the university too

[cyan spire]

@nocturne frost generally speaking the east are cheap because the universities from the west advertised alot about their campuses; therefore, many people moved to west

düsseldorf is like small-japan, love it

[nocturne frost]

its filled with a LOT of different foreigners

like, unlike north n east germany, not many people there are white

theres a part of town that has more middle eastern style bakeries and shops

[prime remnant]

Oh yes middle eastern stuff

I think the density is quite high all over Germany so to speak

[nocturne frost]

perhaps, but I didnt see it much in hamburg or in the north

[prime remnant]

I've been binging on falafel since I've been in DE

[hot cloak]

@keen snow @shy bobcat @shy anchor @lavish saddle @red pewter hello guys, i would like to ask for help - could you please give me some summary on New England, Midatlantic, Midwest and Rocky Mountain states? Sth like "... in a nutshell" but from the POV of the other states.
