bu kendimi kötü hissetmem ve sorgulamam icin söylenmis bir laf mi?

What tanning spray should i use? Can i use suncreme with tanning spray? Btw I will try this laying on a park, not beach. I saw some germans were laying on the grass and tanning. My face and hands tanned a bit but that was before i started wearing tshirts etc. So I want to know how to look a bit tanned without hurting the skin.

I‘m taking C1 course but i also study at least 4 hours a day (including reading and watching German content) I feel like my word knowledge is B2+ but my speaking/writing is B1. Do you think i can pass the Telc C1 Hochschule with „Ausreichend“ or „Gut“?

Honestly i feel so drained that in the class, i want to explain my thoughts but the topics are usually the ones i have no idea or enough word knowledge. I‘m taking C1 right now. When will this „not enough to handle an academic/B2+ conversation“ thing gets better?

My word knowledge is B2 but my schreiben is B1 and I don‘t know how to start making long B2 texts.

Like when you were reading a text B2-C1 and you realized you understand most of it because of that one habit

I know probably one of the reasons is economic situations and low income in Italy but what are other reasons? I‘m from Germany/Berlin and I‘ve seen so many south italian people here but also from the north. and what I don’t understand is how people from southern Italy can move here even though they already come from economically difficult backgrounds, and then still choose to live an unstable life doing art and side jobs instead of trying to improve their financial situation.

like, if you were already struggling financially back home, why are they so comfortable continuing a precarious lifestyle here as well? is it because the social environment feels freer, because they value art more than stability(even tho one of them was complaining about being not enough money) or am I missing something culturally?

In Berlin, almost every artist / painter / sculpter seems like they have their own art place. Does this require a lot of money, or do their works usually sell well? And how do they earn enough from this work to pay for their own studio or the rent of a room they use for making art? Just want to have a few ideas about this, thank you

I don’t have this emoji and i don’t know why

One thing I really admire about Germans is how naturally they seem to handle boundaries and friendships without making it look cold, rude, or overly formal. They often manage to stay respectful, kind, and socially normal while still keeping a healthy distance at first, and I honestly find that really impressive. In my culture, I feel like if you tried to act similarly, people could easily see you as unfriendly, fake, arrogant, or as someone who thinks they’re “above” others just because you’re being more reserved.

For example, if we have even a few things in common with someone we just met, there’s often an expectation to become close friends very quickly. Because of that closeness, some people start feeling too comfortable and stop hesitating to be disrespectful. There’s also this expectation to quickly share personal details about your life, and many people actually do it — but later end up thinking “I wish I hadn’t been this open this fast.”

Another thing is that when you’re very warm and available from the beginning, some people start asking for favors more and more. And if you help them once but later refuse something because it doesn’t suit you, they may accuse you of being a bad friend.

What I admire about Germans is that they seem to keep a healthier distance at first and let trust build slowly. I’m curious: how does this develop culturally? Is it something people learn from childhood? Have you ever let someone get close too quickly because of shared interests or chemistry and later regretted it?

Reading yes but what do you do when you read articles, news? Should i translate and note every word that i don‘t know? Should i keep reading even if the thema is not interesting or even if i feel bored? And when noting words, I tried flashcards but it is so boring to me or maybe i am not doing it correctly. Writing sentences for each word also boring but with context it helps me memorise better. So I must read so much but what‘s the effective way? I‘m now taking B2 course. And should i read spesific themas if I must get telc C1 Hochschule in a year?

I saw that many people were just finished b2 and then took this exam and somehow passed it. I tried the same and it was so hard, i barely got TDN3. Do you think i should get c1.1 c1.2 course or just c1 telc hochschule vorbereitungskurs? any advice would be really good, thank you

Someone i know took B2 prüfungsvorbereitungkurs but didn‘t take b2.2, what do you think?
