Living in Germany without speaking German

Yo' all,

Newbie here, *greeting to all* =D
I am going to Germany soon.
Being an English speaker and with basic German language ability (learnt German before, but only up to level 2), would I have a problem living in there? I mean, for communication wise with surrounding...
*can I survive in there? hehehe*

any experience to share with me...

you'll survive, don't talk to the trees.
Welcome to TT.

More specifically, what would you like to know?

From a quick look at your profile and having read your post, I'd confidently say that you have very little chance of surviving in the surrounding here in Germany. The survival rate at present is the lowest it has been in decades.

Don't worry, I will survive...!
ll take a german lang course there...

Actually, I posted this thread just to say the big HELLO to all of you in TT...
=)
hehe..

OK. Hello and welcome.

Don't tell anyone, but I've been here 10 years and still can't speak it.

You'll be fine.

Lazybum,
sssshhhh... let's keep it low profile...

Sounds like your German is better than mine was when I came.

What I did: I stubbornly refused to speak English. When anyone tried to switch to English (watch out - most are looking to practice their English, not being magnanimous), I said, in German, that I live in Germany and we should speak German.

Buy a small German (NOT German-YourNativeLanguage) dictionary and carry that with you, as well as paper and pen for getting people to write down things you don't understand.

If you read novels or watch DVDs, from now on do that in German. Use the German subtitles on DVDs.

Being a Nervensaege wears on one's own nerves, but you don't sound like someone who wants to live here non-integrated.

Beat me, =)
I learnt it almost 2 years ago, and didn't have time to continue it..
so,I think i need to recall & reshape again eh...
Yea, indeed, I have small german-english dictionary already...

But good to hear warm responses from yo all in here...
I hope your day started off well today!

Yo might want to consider brushing up on the English lang first though.

Repeat: do NOT use your German-English dictionary. Get a real german-german one and look things up in that. The other way just has your brain switching languages all the time.
