In order for you to have successful communication and understand the customs and routines of Germans, we have created a seminar in our program to prepare you for this new culture.
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable in Germany from your arrival. Here are some examples of what you will learn in this seminar:
Germans are known for being very punctual and organized. This applies not only to their professional lives but also to their personal lives. Therefore, they place a high value on these two qualities.
In many Latin American countries, it is common for unpleasant topics such as criticism or dissatisfaction to be conveyed to the recipient in an indirect and gentle manner. In Germany, however, these issues are addressed directly. If someone is dissatisfied with someone or a service, it is addressed immediately.
Winter:
Yes, the sun rises, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s warm. In winter, the sun is not as strong, so even if it’s shining, you will feel cold when you go outside. So don’t go out without a jacket.
You need appropriate winter clothing (shoes, pants, jacket, gloves, hat, and scarf). Learning how to dress for winter will help you avoid feeling very cold and catching a cold.
Spring:
The days are getting longer and the weather is gradually becoming warmer.
“April does what it wants” is a German saying about this month, as in April there can be very hot days, but also storms, a lot of rain, or even snowfall.
Summer:
On June 21st is the longest day of the year, on this day the sun can be seen until almost 10 p.m.
On some summer days, temperatures can exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
Autumn:
The days are getting shorter.
“Golden October”, another German saying. Autumn is beautiful, the leaves of the trees turn red and yellow, creating dreamlike landscapes.
Salary: The minimum wage in Germany for the year 2023 is 1920 euros gross. An auxiliary nurse has a minimum wage of 2224 euros gross, and a registered nurse has a minimum wage of 2824 euros gross.
Social security: Health insurance, long-term care insurance, pension insurance, accident insurance, and unemployment insurance. The costs for these insurances are shared between the employer and the employee.
It is generally an 8-hour workday. Some work activities operate on a shift schedule: morning shift, afternoon shift, and night shift.
Working hours: A full-time job in Germany usually entails a weekly working time of 35 to 40 hours.
Vacation: The annual vacation entitlement may also be linked to the employee’s age. The entitlement to vacation typically ranges from 28 to 30 days.
