Hi, I am new to the forum. I am 37, British and I live in work in London. My wife is German and her family lives in Mannheim. Having grown very tired of life in London, my wife and I want to leave this all behind us and move to Germany and we have decided that Frankfurt seems like a good option with the possibilty of Berlin (a city my wife lived in for ten years before moving to London).
I guess my question is this... My level of German is basic, I have taken a few courses and had a few private lessons and tried other methods such as online and CD/MP3 based formats and yet I have never really progressed much. I am degree educated, currently work in a university library and I guess my main question is whether anyone has any advice? We really want to get out London and the general opinion is that my language skills would improve if I live in Germany and this would improve my job prospects. Also I would be grateful if anyone has an opinion on Frankfurt versus Berlin with regards to job opportunities for someone like myself.
Thanks.
