In this episode of Hear My True Story, Balikowa reflects on the challenges his friend, an English-speaking student from Africa, faces in Germany due to the language barrier. While Balikowa learned German early on to integrate, his friend didn’t focus on the language—and now struggles with daily tasks like doctor’s appointments, reading letters, and even missing out on opportunities like free giveaways in the neighborhood. Through humor and personal insight, Balikowa shows just how vital language is for navigating life, building connections, and finding opportunities in a new country.
