My C1 in German seems to have just withered away. I've been here for about a week and I have to say, things are very scary and very different. I would spend the summer with my relatives in Romania as a transitional period, and then it was off to Germany. To my surprise, my efforts paid off, and I achieved a C1 in German. Having literally no social life at age 17-18, and no one who truly cared about me other than my mother in the US, German was the one thing that kept me going for many months. Grammar books, YT videos, articles - there's nothing I didn't do to learn German, as the kind people on r/German will know. Around halfway through my second year of these 4, I decided I wanted to leave the US and move to Germany at the end of the 4 years, so I started dilligently learning the language by myself. I took German as a foreign language in my last 4 years of school in the US.

If young Romanians leave the country for the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, France etc all the time, knowing that Romania won't support them in any way, it would have been not only stupid to move back to Romania, but also disrespectful to my mother, who worked very hard to offer me a better life in America. I needed a fresh start: a place that would still share some cultural similarities to Romania, but also a developed country that could offer me far better future prospects.

I hated the US from multiple perspectives, but the main thing for me was that it was too different and I just couldn't relate it to anything back home. I am a proud Romanian who has spent the last 8 years of his life prior to moving to Germany in the US. Some of it simply applies to any new place I just thought that many Germans would see this and be able to understand some of the things I'm saying, and many foreigners who moved to Germany could relate to them.
