> It is possible to learn German but it requires huge effort and dedication and not many people are capable of that.

I'm a little bit surprised: Relocating for a job in a completely different country (with a different language, culture etc.) also requires huge effort and dedication in my opinion. Why were you capable of doing this step but claim that learning German is so hard? Yes, it takes a little bit more time, but I can't see the orders of magnitude difference in required effort and dedication.

I know a few Greeks who went to German language schools for a few months, when they arrived at Germany and they speak German really well. Yes not perfect, but fluent.

You cannot compare these. You relocate once and after that it is done. Learning a language is on going process that has a lot of phases and you need to do it continuously every single day.

I don't want complain how learning German is hard. I only wanted to mention something that nobody says when they talk about Berling being tech hub.

You don't have this issue in Silicon Valley. Your working language is also your life language.

Living and working in a foreign country with foreign language/culture is an ongoing process continuing every single day, too.
