BahnCard by Anonymous654
Is it beneficial to have BahnCard, let say BahnCard 25? I think I will travel often beaten Bonn and Netherlands, and so far I find the ticket price is quite expensive even with local connections and/or NRW Single Ticket. Any suggestion?

Freie Universitat Berlin or Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin by felicia_quah
Hi! I want to study my master in either one of these universities - Freie Universitat Berlin or Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin. Anyone knows anyone working in any of these universities???? Grateful for your help. :)

Can i survive by speaking only English in Berlin? by roman_greek
Hello everyone! I was just wondering what is the level of English knowledge in Berlin or Germany in general? I really want to pay a visit at some point, but unfortunately i do not speak any German. Would English be sufficient?
There are lots of jobs that require English but without any German you will be limited only to meeting other expats for a social life. There are also often job listings in English on toytown.com Read More
