am german married with a colombian wife. Here in germany my wife couldn´t find neither herself nor a apprentice ship nor a job in 4 years. Even school does not seem to exist and the university takes too long is too weird. She studied english, spanish and french in her country but here the language classes are held in german?! To pay a apprentice ship by a school is even with Bafög impossible for us because of our debts.
I am the only one the earns and my wife doesnt seem to have the slidest change to do soemthing else than cleaning or worst here.
We heard Ireland is more expensive than germany, but we are looking forward to have two incomes instead of one.
We, and especially my wife are also very pissed by the german people. People here a quite aggressiv, you have to try hard to get served in a store and sometimes you get even screamed. People that live from what you buy or for what you ask, are upset with you? I am used to that, I have lived that all my life and school was the same. My wife is frustrated about university teachers that made fun of her accent. Nobody gives here a job here because she got accent.
We both speak in english to each other and are capable of fluently english. My wifes mothertongue is spanish, she also also speaks german and some french. I can speak some spanish and very little french too.
My wife already wanted to return to Colombia, but for a German it is very dangerous there and almost impossible for us to make our living. All that could work is an english speaking country like Ireland. I have asked for a Job of my company in Dublin, if that fails I´ll probably look for another one.
We are not asking for much, two jobs and place to stay and to bring dog and cat. (Bye the way is it hard to get an appartment when you have a dog, here it is quite impossible)
The final question would be if my wife gets a working permission too, if I am EEU Citizen and having a job in Ireland? It would be useless to emmigrate if she could not work over there?
