Hi, I studied at university in Austria (German-speaking country) but am English. I spoke no German before I went. This was a big mistake. I went there because the university fees were a fraction of those in the UK, the course was better and I'd won a scholarship to go there. However, no-one was prepared to speak English to me, tutors, other students, bus drivers, shop assistants etc, this made day to day life really hard. There is loads of bureaucracy as a student, forms to fill in, lodgings to find etc etc and if it wasn't for the other UK students I met there early on I would probably have starved!! Lectures were a nightmare, obviously I had no idea what was going on in them. No English lessons were provided by the Uni, all the other foreign students spoke some German. I'd never learned another language before and had no idea if I was capable. However, I picked it up really quickly, in 3 months I was confident and within 12 months I was completely fluent. In retrospect I should have gone there 3 months earlier, before the course started, to live there and learn German prior to the course starting. Don't forget, you will need to do all your written course work in German and will receive no help unless you pay for it to be translated. If doing a final Thesis this will be expensive. Written German is very different to spoken German. If you can afford it, take a Cactus Language course - this is relatively cheap and involves going out to Germany and living with a family whilst taking day classes in German. Also don't forget a lot of your course will be in technical medical jargon that you won't encounter in normal everyday life. So you have to master day-to-day German, written German, and medical jargon. It is possible to do, and I think you should do it, but go now to avoid wasting your first few months there. Its hard to catch up.
No, go to a language school in Germany prior to the University term starts. That is what I did when I first came to USA. I did not know English, went to 6 month of Language course, then I was thrown into class rooms with hundreds of American students and other Nationality who understood perfect English. It took me 5 years counting every Summer semester staying on campus to catch up on classes to get my College degree. The best and the fastest way to do this is to go there, then learn. I met my beautiful American girl friend during my first year in College, that helped me A LOT.
you do know that their german in university is the equivellent to our english in our university right? i think that before you do your course in germany you should go out there to live, spend a year in one of their grammar schools in the oberstuffe (they leave school when they are 19) and then hopefully you will have grasped the basics, then go to a university, hopefully one of your friends that you would have made in the oberstuffe can help you learn fluent german whilst you study.
Or, after you have been to the oberstuffe, you could find classes outside of school that teach german, you could spend 6 months-a year doing this to learn fluent german. german is an easy language to pick up since half of the words sound like english anyay. if you want some help now, you can e-mail me.
I am not surprised the German universities have not replied. I think your idea is completely insane. Presumably the reason you want to study in Germany is because you cannot win a dentistry place in one of our universities. If this is the case then you will do yourself a big favour by trying some subject or occupation within your range and language.
i have done my little bit of research, to get into dentistry there i think u need to take a test again in order to qualify, and that alone is in german..
face it u just have to learn german before u get there or take a 3 mth german course there before u go it helps
