    The real german citizenship test is not to be found in those 300 questions, which many germans would have a hard time answering, but in dealing with german bureaucracy. If you can put up with lots of paperwork and waiting, you qualify :). And by the way, Berlin is not all that bad really.

    I recommend to make an Ausbildung (completed vocational training) first. After that you can choose to start in this job or go a step further and study at a university. Popular jobs are teachers, jobs in elder care and in hospitals. Good luck for your next steps.

    Well, you don't need to wait for the passport, for applying the paper you got will suffice. Berlin is not as expensive as Munich or Frankfurt, bus is certainly more expensive than a smaller city. And as a german citizen, you qualify for "BaFöG", money you can get from the state (half as a gift, half you will need to pay back), this applies both to "Ausbildung" or "Studium" - and under certain conditions (same direction, the studies have to deepen the matter of the apprentisage) you can get this even twice. Yes, not only the universities are tutution fee free, you can get even money from the state to be able to study. But it might depend on the income of your parents. And there is some truth you will have to face: Free appartments are rare now. Almost everywhere in Germany - remember that we did accept more then 1 million of ukrainian refugees (which are very welcome to my point of view). So maybe, a place to life will be the hardest part.

    Hello Emma I seriously doubt whether Berlin and Munich would really be a good start for you. Both cities are completely overcrowded and rents are very high. Personally, I would have recommended the Ruhr area, which has more inhabitants than Berlin with its 3.6 million, but in a total of 53 cities. Berlin or Munich are always good for a short trip, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there.

    I sit here in my "Ferienwohnung auf Rügen" and what is popping up? A new video from Emma! That is sooooo exciting and i am sooo happy for you, that your plans become true! You did the absolutely right way with the citizenship, even if it takes longer for you to come back to Germany. With your citizenship stehen dir alle Türen offen. (a little bit denglish for you) 😁 But Berlin, i don't know, it's very hard to find an appartment in a nice area and Berlin is like little New York. Here on youtube is a girl, Anja, she also moved to Berlin from the USA and it was not easy. I am so gespannt auf deinen weiteren Weg und wünsche dir viel Glück und das sich deine Träume erfüllen!

      Und gerade der Ort ist so anders von dem was die Amerikaner von Deutschland kennen/denken und deshalb ist es eine gute Wahl. Wenn sie die Gastfamilie mag, dann ist alles gut. Ja, es ist ein kleiner Ort wo sie wohnt, für viele Deutsche ist es aber das Urlaubsgebiet Nummer 1, neben Rügen und Usedom, unter anderem für mich. Wer natürlich das Highlife City Girl ist, der wird es dort nicht lange aushalten, aber Rostock ist nicht sooo weit weg, da hat man ein bischen Großstadt Feeling. Emma, i am so happy that you choose this place and not a boring big city or south/southwest like the most Americans. You area is a dream, wait for the spring/summer and you will understand. :)

    Hi Emma and Willkommen in Deutschland! Rostock is so beautiful, and there are so many places in the area you will discover. The islands aren’t far away, you‘re going to have a great experience, I hope! You didn’t do it, and maybe you already know this, but just in case, from my own experience I want to offer a tiny word of warning- only touch your phone in your car when the engine is not running. Even just stopped at traffic lights it‘s illegal and they will fine you.

    Great to see you enjoying a lesser covered area of Germany ... As a German I am wondering whether you are aware that the place you live at was under "communist" rule not to too long ago - before you were born, though. (reminds me of how old I am already, sigh) This "heritage" is still showing here and there in infrastructure and sometimes peoples minds/attitudes. ;) Rostock area is pretty rura as soon as you are outside the city (lots of farmland on one side and the Baltic Ocean on the other side) and its great your host family allows you to use their car. I´m sure you will enjoy the time around Rostock - unless you´re really a hardcore city girl ...

Sure, it's not as liberal in the country as in big cities. But that is also the case in the USA. Also, in Bavaria it is much more conservative than in Mecklenburg.
