Ciao, di recente mi sono trasferito a Berlino e ho trovato un lavoro nell’ospitalità! Ma ho bisogno di un “cartellino rosso” sono dall’Irlanda, quindi forse l’equivalente sarebbe un certificato HACCP. Ho prenotato l’appuntamento e sono andato oggi, ma mi è stato consegnato un pezzo di carta dicendo che ho bisogno di un traduttore perché non parlo tedesco. Non sono uno studente e mi sono trasferito qui la scorsa settimana, quindi non conosco nessuno che parli tedesco mi stavo solo chiedendo se qualcun altro fosse nella stessa situazione se sì, cosa hai fatto? Qualche consiglio? Grazie!

With all due respect, but I am always baffled how people move to Germany without speaking German and then wonder what they should do when they encounter problems because they don’t speak German.

When I lived in Korea, usually it was the employer that helped with these matters because of language barriers. Perhaps you can ask them first?
Learn the language of ur host country! Wtf is wrong with people
The write that you could ask a collegue or even someone in the waiting room. So have you tried that?
Advice? Get a translator, just like the thing says.
How did you find your job?
Ask your employer for help.
Obviously you should learn German asap, as many others have said it’s rather essential when living here long-term.
As for your current predicament, you could try asking neighbours or future colleagues to accompany you, or students or such if you’re willing to pay a few bucks.
You could also try posting on r/berlin, or download Jodel and ask there
They give you clear instructions what to do. What advice are you expecting from us?
I’d say that there is no other way than what this paper tells you. You want to attend a training that certifies you, so you need to know what is going on. They made clear that they can’t certify you when you attend a german-only training without knowing the language. So you either find someone who can translate the training for you, or you need to find some work where you not need a red card. Either a completely different job or a job in a different department of your new employer.
I think the easiest way would be to talk to your employer about it. If you were send there, it should be in your employers interested to find a solution. Maybe a coworker that can come with you?
You will work with food items. And in Germany you need a health certificate if you want wo work with food items. This is very important and is for the safety of other people. Please either learn German or get someone to translate the video for you. Otherwise you will endanger other people and their health.
Maybe do as it says on the paper? Willkommen!
Been to 9 countries, never seen anything like this. Nothing is digital so nothing is in English. Worked in 4 countries Germany was the only one expecting everyone to speak native level german.
If you want to pay for a qualified translator, book one online from Red Tape Translations. It’s expensive though and not really necessary in this case.
If you don’t have any German-speaking friends here who can go with you, ask your employer if there is a colleague who can accompany you. Otherwise, try posting on r/berlin, or Berlin4Beginners on Facebook.
There are translator services available in Berlin. One of them will even accompany you to the site you have to view the video at.
I work as a nurse in Germany. The language barrier is an ever-increasing problem. You constantly waste valuable time because you have to explain the simplest things over and over again. Patients often become aggressive as a result. When you then find out that the patient has already lived in Germany for twenty or thirty years or was even born here, you no longer have the desire to be a language teacher on top of your own work, for people who have and show zero interest in the culture and language of the host country. After 20 years of working as a nurse, I no longer waste a second if someone doesn’t speak German. Tough. Our healthcare system is so broken that there’s no time for that. Nobody wants to simply accept other people’s laziness anymore. If I move to another country, the first thing I learn immediately is the language.
