My dream immigrant to Germany, what would he be like? Would he embrace my culture? Would he try to fit in? Would he learn the nuances of village life? Would he be a better German than me?
Well, sitting next to me is someone that I think would be a perfect immigrant to Germany. So I am going to ask him.
Tell me, dream immigrant, would you like to learn how to speak German?
Of course, I like to hear different people speak and it is interesting to hear the different dialects. It would be easier to speak German if I had a native speaker to teach me.
Are you interested in German culture?
Yes, definitely, German composers, and arts from the Renaissance era …
What do you like most about Germany?
The whole package: The culture, people, countryside, religious reformers, scientists, the way people used to think; never satisfied with the status quo and always trying to better themselves for the right reasons. I have a feeling that some Germans lack passion. The passion that creates a civilization and culture and what inspires a great people to do great things. However too many have become self-centered; focusing on things like, which vacation I am gonna go on next year?
What do you least like about Germany?
The way people drive on the autobahn! I do not mind driving fast, but sometimes I cant get out of the way fast enough.
In the West too and in America sometimes, people are afraid to support German culture and feel it is not worth fighting for. I think it is worth fighting for!
What else would you like to do?
I would like to learn how to sing the German national anthem, learn more about the German constitution
When do you intend to immigrate?
I would like to think about it. But I am already living in the best place in the world.
I wonder which country he lives in?
