    My Chinese girl friend... I met via language exchange, then she visited me. But at that time she already studied for a master degree in Germany. 通过这样的事情我们的语言说的水平也提高了

      I have been to Malaysia for 10 days . IT has a wonderful nature and some rain forests.

      Especially
      There are places like Taman Negara hanging bridge . There is a river there and one can make many activities there like kayaking.
      But in the large cities , one should hold his or her bags tightly and carefully as some people may snatch his or her bag. This may happen everywhere. I wish all the best to all people anyway.

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому +1

      Sounds so amazing! And yes. Pickpocketing or stealing can happen anywhere. I was in Kuala Lumpur once and I must say..there people were not so subtle..someone almost got my bag as they drove past me with a scooter but I held on tight ;)

      But in UK , studying in universities is not free with all my respect and love to all countries in the world.

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому

      Thats so true Wael! UK is expensive to study in. Germany, Austria, I believe Switzerland as well as the Scandinavian countries are, to my knowledge, generally cheap to study in. :)

      I did research on the internet. Yes, generally it is free or very affordable to get education in many European countries especially for EU citizens. But I think private universities are more expensive in Europe than public universities.

      haha ;) I think my "accent" changes depending where I am or the people I am surrounded with for a longer period of time. I have also noticed that my accent changed during the years over here ;) But thats cool :)

    Schönes Video. Am Ende hört man ein “MoinMoin“ was ja ein norddeutsches Dinh ist. Wie kam es dazu?.Eventuell finnisch ? Eher unwahrscheinlich.. by the way wusstest du das die finnische und ungarische Sprache verwandt ist?

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  6 років тому

      Danke dir :) Ich sage immer am Schluss "Moi Moi" die in Finnisch heißt Schüss ;) Und ja! Ich wusste das die verwandt sind..Ich kann aber kein Wort Ungarisch verstehen..aber anscheinend sind die sehr ähnlich..besonders der Grammatik ;)

  • @elemukelemu

    Tulihan se pian:)) hyvä video ja millä kielellä muuten opiskelit ja kuinka kauan saksaa pitää opiskella niin on "fluent"

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому +1

      hmm...Tuo on vähän vaikeampi kysymys. Minä esim opiskelin Ranskaa 10 vuotta, mutta en koskaan osannut sujuvasti (enkä vieläkään siis). Saksan toisaalta opin n.2-3kk suht sujuvasti, enkä koskaan opiskellut muuta kuin pari A1 kurssia. Suurin ero oli siis, että Ranskaa en koskaan puhunut kenenkään kanssa. Se oli 100% kirjasta oppimista ja kokeisiin lukemista + pari kuuntelu ja helppoa keskustelu tehtävää. Saksan opin koska minun poikaystävä alkoi puhumaan vain Saksaa minun kanssa ja suorastaan n.s. pakotti minut puhumaan vain saksaa (ei siis oikeesti tietenkään, halusin oppia Saksan nopeasti ja olin antanut hänelle ohjeet, että ei saa antaa minun sanoa mitään englanniksi ja hän otti tämän todella vakavasti :D ). n. 2 kk jälkeen huomasin jo kuinka sujuvasti se minulta tuli ja n. 3 kk jälkeen en oikeasti puhunut mitään muuta kuin Saksaa poikaystäväni kanssa :) Eli: parasta asua esim. puoli vuotta saksalaisen perheen kanssa tms. jossa sinun täytyy oikeasti käyttää saksan kieltä jos haluaa oppia nopeasti ;)

    • @elemukelemu
      @elemukelemu 7 років тому +1

      Kia Lindroos no ei itsellä ihan tuohon oo mahollista mutta kiitos avusta!:D menetkö ihan vielä natiivi puhujasta läpi ja onko sulla Saksan aksenttia??

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому +1

      Ehkä silloin kun muutat Saksaan voit pohtia olisiko Saksalaisen perheen kanssa asuminen hyvä vaihtoehto ;) hehe. Kyllä minusta kuulee, että olen ulkomaalainen ;) Saksaa siis kannattaa opiskella, koska minä edelleen puhun jotku asiat väärässä sanan järjestyksessä..:D Saksankielen sanajärjestys on jotenkin niin erilainen kuin muilla kielillä, kuten varmasti tiedät ;) Tässä videossa puhun hetken myös saksaa jos haluat kuulla: ua-cam.com/video/oGbe6firNPo/v-deo.html :)

    is it crucial for you to speak german before living there?

  • @jeremyrivera8172
    @jeremyrivera8172 6 років тому

    Regarding studying abroad, I have been thinking about doing this but I'm not familiar with german universities. Do you have advice for starting a search? I did my bachelor's degree in marketing and I would like to stay close to this field.

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  6 років тому

      Hi Jeremy! Thats amazing! I am not sure where you are from and how the University system works where you come from but, I am going to go ahead and say that you probably can't go very wrong with choosing a university in Germany...I think you first have to decide if you would prefer a University of Applied Sciences which usually focuses more on practical experiences and includes mandatory internships etc or just a 'normal' university which I suppose is more academic. Then of course you need to choose whether or not you want to study in English or German and if in English.. that will narrow your research quite a bit anyway. If you can study in German..then I would probably even just start thinking in which city or area of Germany would you be interested in the most..So e.g. I knew I wanted to study marketing, in English and within 1 hour away from Nuremberg and thats how I found my Uni and I was very happy. I think German universities are generally ALL very good and I have never heard of a bad experience from anybody in any University over here..:) I hope that helps a bit? ;)

    • @jeremyrivera8172
      @jeremyrivera8172 6 років тому

      Kia Lindroos It does help narrow things down. By the way, I'm originally from New York but moved to Puerto Rico for my Bachelor's. I definitely see how a degree from an Applied Science University that includes internships can provide you with a more complete experience. As for language, I know some German but I'm not fluent so I'd feel more comfortable with English. Are there any differences worth considering between public and private universities in Germany?

  • @mokshedkaushik5192
    @mokshedkaushik5192 7 років тому

    Hi! I am going to study for my masters in Bamberg from this October. It's very close to Nürnberg and I am hoping you could give me some tips about the region. Also my german is really not fluent, how could i improve it a lot so that I could work in Germany?

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому +2

      Hi Mokshed! Wow! Thats amazing! Bamberg is truly one of the most beautiful cities in the Bavarian region! Small but so, SO beautiful! You are going to love it! First its good to note that German in the Bavarian region is very different to the Hoch Deutsch that you may have studied..but you will get used to it in no time ;) Bavarian region is really so great and there is so much to see: Nürnberg, Munich, Regensburg or one of the smaller towns in the frankonian area like Bayreuth and even go to Austria to Salzburg which is amazing. And all this is so cheap to travel to with the "Bayern Ticket" with train. -> google it to find more in info cause its a bit complicated to explain here ;) + you must absolutely visit the mountains either in the german region or Austrian region. They are gorgeous in the winter time. As for improving German..I know it sounds uncomfortable perhaps...but I really have no better advice than to surround yourself with German speaking people, preferably those who do not speak English so that you truly must force yourself to speak German.This works. I only ever studied A1 German but I passed a B2 exam 1 year later just because spoke it and wrote it until I "made it". Go to cafès, restaurants, bars and of of course "biergarten" and order everything in German and make yourself speak it everyday. That really is the only way I have ever learnt a language. :) + Bavaria has amazing companies (Siemens, Adidas, Puma, Bosch, BMW) where English is the main language so there are amazing opportunities to get jobs where you might not even need German..but obvisouly you have better chances if you know German. ;) Good luck Mokshed and if I can help in other way just lemme know!

      It is a tough exam..especially the essay part which I feel I got lucky with in some way..and in the case where I have to write good german. I try to keep the text pretty simple :D I am not good at writing German..especially when I want do it quickly like answering messages or e-mails ;)

    how is the study in germany compared to finland is it subjective or mcq.......

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому

      Hi Raphael. I am not sure what you mean by this...could you please elaborate on what you mean: studying in general i.e the experience, exams, university culture etc..? :)

    • @satyajitgogoi4202
      @satyajitgogoi4202 7 років тому

      thank you for the reply kia....yes i mean in germany exams are subjective like do you write answers in brief or is it (MCQ) multiple choice questions

    • @KiaHazel
      @KiaHazel  7 років тому +1

      Great! Thank you Raphael! Hmm I would say for Finland 80% Subjective and 20% MCQ and Germany 50-50. But to be honest this varies. It depends a lot on who your professor is and what kind of exams they prefer to make. I found that when the classes were bigger they usually preferred MCQ and in the smaller classes they like more elaborative exams. :) Hope this helps :)
