I have lapsed fluency from when I lived there 30 years ago but I am confident it would come back quickly. The problem is that my husband doesn't speak any German at all and I think it would be a culture shock for him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago Without C1 german you will most likely not find a job anywhere. Having that experience myself with my british boyfriend. Despite diploma, they dont land a job permalink fedilink source parent [–] Quik@infosec.pub 1 point 1 year ago Ideally, find a job for your husband in an American/international company with an office in Germany or allows working remotely all the time. Ideally you'd find such a job before even moving here. This is the only realistic perspective I know of to get a higher paying job without being pretty much fluent in German (which is hard). I have seen this work with North and South Americans. permalink fedilink source parent
