Hey guys,

I’ve applied to the University of St. Gallen, and I’d really like to have a part-time job during my studies so I can start building some savings. Since St. Gallen is quite a small city, I’m guessing there aren’t many English-speaking job opportunities.

I was wondering if it’s realistic to reach a working level of German over the summer. I’ll have a lot of free time, so I can basically study German full-time.

When I say working level, I mean for something like retail work, not the level of a proper full-time office worker. I was thinking around B1 would be good level for that.

Do you guys think that’s doable in a few months?

Thanks
