| Advice for New Expats |
You can not plan or prepare enough! However my key advice would be to open a bank account as soon as is possible. In Germany the use of credit cards is not as widespread as we expect in other EU countries, and many places just take EU debit cards, not credit cards! (for example IKEA do not take credit cards!).
Also do not be afraid of language barriers, most Germans can speak English and actually enjoy the practice, therefore the use of DEnglish is widely accepted!
