"Expats in Berlin often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Many find the language barrier to be a challenge, as German is the primary language spoken in the city. Additionally, the city's unique cultural norms and customs can be difficult to adjust to, as they may be unfamiliar to those coming from other countries. Furthermore, the city's fast-paced lifestyle can be overwhelming for some expats, as it is quite different from the slower pace of life they may be used to," remarked another expat in Berlin, Germany.
