What has been your biggest culture shock since arriving in Germany? What was the toughest thing to adapt to?

Forgive me for making an assumption but would it be fair to say that you were in a privileged position compared to many of your countrymen? You've arrived by plane months before the recent exodus, you type in fluent English, are educated etc. Would you be able to speculate on what the biggest cultural challenges facing this recent wave of refugees will be?

Exciting! When is the next one coming out and how can we contribute?

I once met a British man who teaches English to EU parliament members. He said it could be quite a pain to see them struggle, but what was even harder for him was teaching them to say things he disagreed with politically--in halting simple English!
