I am looking to move to frankfurt in the next couple of months. My husband is already there living in a Hostel. I need to find work but speak no German. I am studing on my own with books and tapes. but find it very hard. I have 20 years experience working in the medical field. I am a manager of a Radiology call center. So I have lots of adminstrative/manager skills. My problem is every where I look they need you to speak German. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Once u come down here, u can ask for a certificate / goverment coupon for an integration course. the govt pays a part fr a german integration course for the spouse, and u end up paying just 1 euro an hr frm ur pcket, rest being covered by the govt.
Perfect ur german here. Then later on u can look for work too..
Good luck
