Living In Germany
Though you should be fine speaking English in most areas, you'll do better if you add the German language to your repertoire.As for living situations, Germany has one of the lowest home ownership rates in the world meaning most people rent. This is due to many reasons, including strong laws that protect tenants from rent increases, eviction circumstances and deposit returns.
Healthcare In Germany
Germany has a universal healthcare system and is mandatory for all citizens and permanent residents. Keep this in mind as you'll have to add that into your moving budget.There are both public and private insurance options, though most people have the state mandated coverage. Private insurance can be added on but in most cases can't be exchanged out entirely in place of the state issued insurance.
Education In Germany

Students then can enter a vocational school to learn a trade or get selected to enter a Gymnasium.

Private education options are also available at all levels.
