If you just learn some German it'd help. Just a few words in German. Hallo, ich weiß, du bist neu hier, aber im Laufe der Zeit wird es einfacher für Sie sein komfortabel. Vielleicht morgen können wir zusammen zu Mittag essen, Ich hoffe ich kann, um mehr über Sie bald wissen, und wir könnten Freunde sein. ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag! That could go good.

maybe he is just shy and needs some time to get used to the situation. just be friendly, talk to him, invite him to activities and hope that this will break the ice. i dont know, maybe knowing a few german words would help, showing that you´re trying really hard to make him feel comfortable, but, tbh, i dont think it´ll help that much. i can only speak for myself, but i were in a foreign country i would need some time to settle down, too, and if someone spoke german to me, it wouldnt help much...i mean i would think it´s nice that they tried, but at the end they wouldnt be fluent, so we couldnt talk anyway, there´s nothing i can do with someone who speaks a few phrases of german that i couldnt do with them if they didnt know those phrases. not to forget that exchange students usually come to a english-speaking country to get more fluent in english. and deidodei is obviously not german, because his sentences didnt make sense at all. sorry if i didnt help you that much, but i´d suggest talking to him as much as possible, i am sure he´s just afraid of making the first step.

It depends on your status in Germany. If you are a legal resident and hold a residence permit, then you can use this in conjunction to travel freely as a tourist within the Schengen zone, and therefore as Spain is also a member then it is not a problem If you do not hold a residence permit then you will have to apply for a visa to visit Spain and normally this would be obtained from your home country and the Spanish embassy there. Otherwise you could try with the Spanish embassy in Germany, but if you are there illegally it will flag you of course.

German Visa? You may want to contact the German embassy in your country, or the embassy which represents Germany in your country. Also, a travel agent may have some ideas who to contact. I heard the process is really slow right now in Germany, for extensive background checks. For an extra fee you may be able to speed up the process by being placed more ahead on the list. Good luck and patience, cordially, India.Magica
