    Where/how should I learn German?

    Would that let in a 5+year USA programmer who spoke the language?

    The syntax, even not knowing the indivudal words without google, seems similar to me.

      Migrating from the US is pretty easy, unless you happen to have the wrong name or skin colour, aka not being white enough. In this case also it is better to stay in the US. If you are black or brown the children of your grandchildren will still be considered foreigners, if your family doesn’t get murdered by some nationalists in the meantime.

      As for learning German, you could check with a “Goethe Institut” They also provide recognised language certificate tests.

      I’d recommend you to go for at least B2, even if it is not required for you to get a work visa. While young people tend to be fluent in english and in larger cities you’ll get by well, you dont want to torture yourself with the english skills of some of your older colleagues.

      Where? In the deepest and darkest place in Sachsen.
      How? I assume the best way would be a Sachsen Nun, punishing you for incorrectly using grammar, or forgetting vocabulary.

      The Nun makes you learn it in 11 month if you need 12, then Judas and nice knowing you…

      About the Syntax, it comes by or the Nun does.
