I'm an Asian relocating to Germany - I don't speak German at all and I have a very limited understanding of Germany and Germans.
I plan to stay in Germany for the long term, so my aim is to integrate with the country / company and learn the language / culture. With this goal in mind, any tips that you can provide, as a foreign expat first working in Germany?
Just as an illustration, I have heard that if you study MBA at USA, it is important to “befriend” the locals intentionally. As Asians tend to hang out with Asians, you might end up only having Asian friends and learning limited knowledge about local culture. Not sure whether this situation applies also to Germany? What would be your advice? Thanks!
