So, I've been trying to teach myself German for the past couple of weeks... I'm taking a German class next semester, and really want to go to Germany - I'm thinking either near the end of next year or in the summer of 2021. I'm a big house music fan and want to go to some of the clubs in Berlin, or wherever the good places are ...I know literally no one who's German, and no one who lives there, though I do have a friend who lives in the UK who speak German... And a friend in Spain who speaks no German at all .... I've heard it's pretty difficult to get to know people in German if you don't already know someone there - unless maybe if you like to hang out at the pubs and drink beer, which I'm thinking would be a bit awkward for me since I don't drink alcohol and I'm guessing German pub food isn't exactly vegan-friendly.
Do we have any German vegans in the forum?? How do I go about this and what are your suggestions?? Also, if I brought my running shoes, would people think I was crazy if I went for a jog? I've heard (in some running groups) that sometimes they get weird stares when they go running in a different country. There must be German athletes, right? Do people do couch surfing in Germany? I could maybe trade English lessons or something (hopefully I'll be able speak German a bit better by then)
Danke!!
