Hello guys
I am 29 years old. I will be in germany 6 month later with job seeker visa.
Now I can speak german but sometimes a bit slow, but I am so nervous for my interviews.
How can we(developers) improve our ability of speaking foreign language in our special interviews?

Dont worry, they arent employing you for your language skills. In fact they will be amazed you can even speak a bit of it. Just worry about your software skills.

That is true, but if you couldn't present yourself they would not understand what are your skills.
Do you agree?

Your English certainly seems very good.

But the interview will be in English, no?

Just use the EU regulation English
I’m sure it will work out just fine.

If you're confident about your speaking, but nerves get the best of you, you can try beta blockers such as propranolol.
Just visit your doctor and tell him you need something to suppress your nerves.
Not being nervous before an interview can greatly enhance your speaking ability as it clears the mind and soul

Unfortunately, I am not confident with my speaking.
I am looking for a friend in Germany. I will feel more better when speaking with a German friend.

I am a foreigner living in germany. I got my first job just after studies and my german was not that good.
Big companies will have enough people speaking english, Heck... in my previous team they hired an indian guy that almost speaks no german, a chinese guy that speaks basic-mid german, a guy from sri lanka with a decent german and a chinese girl speaking good german. And all that in the last 6 months.
Do you already have some "targets"? I mean, part of germany, possible companies and so on...
Some things that I do recommend you... before you apply to a german company, do your homework. It is really important that you know about where you are applying. Do not use templates for your presentation letters. Be self confident. Go to the point, short and concise.

I've just ordered a chamber vacuum sealer for my birthday*, and ten minutes after placing the order on FleaBay I get an email.
From DPD - the courier company - to say it'll be delivered Tuesday, and they'll email me when it leaves the depot to tell me what hour it will be delivered...
Bear in mind it's nearly 17:00 on a Saturday, and it's pretty amazing!
* Herself delegates the entire purchase process to me, including deciding what to get, where to get it, how much to pay for it. In extreme cases I get to gift wrap it for myself as well. But ... I do get what I wanted rather than "socks", "pajamas", or other cr@p!

A while ago I placed an order on Sunday night and only checked my email on Tuesday morning just so I would know when it would arrive. It took me several minutes to work through my confusion to understand that the package had already been delivered.
Where I am now and currently it appears possible that I might order something and it will be delivered in just a couple of hours. So I need to check that email more promptly.

Now tell me how better is the sealer than a glowing pajama?

Nah, end of the month - but I know what "delivered in 2 or three days" normally means, and Herself would be upset if it was late.
Plus I need to buy some bags, as it doesn't need the embossed ones I have to use for the current (external suction) machine.

I really have just developed some serious concern for your cat.
The shedding just can't be that bad, can it? The litter box was naturally taken care of by nighttime deliveries to neighbors mailbox (post box, even if it's not on a post?), so it must be the shedding.
Don't start giving me some quick and ill considered answer of getting an answer to the famous Shroedinger's Cat in a Bag Question by using a transparent bag. I don't think I'd believe that.

Long before internet, I worked with a minicomputer manufacturer - "mini" was about the size of a fridge in those days. One contract was cancelled after the computer had been lifted into the truck. Before we got around to move the stuff back to storage, another order was confirmed by phone, exactly the same model, for another customer in town. So the truck was immediately sent on its way, and half an hour after the order confirmation, the half ton computer was delivered at the customer's premises (before he had had the time to cancel...)
These were computer that took 24 working hours, three days, to assemble, so there usually was around two weeks of lead time. This customer was very happy with the quick service, and certainly did not want to cancel the contract.

When I first started programming I read a lot of articles about a lot of programming subjects.
I've bookmarked many many articles over the years about OOP, design patterns, architecture, databases, functional programming, algorithms...
And I just went through the list and deleted almost all of them.
First and foremost because a lot of them are outdated or are no longer relevant for me (like WinForms articles or "getting started with x" from 2010).
But also because I now know a lot about the subjects those articles talk about, like SOLID and SQL injection.
It's kind of funny to realize I once thought it necessary to bookmark an article about resource files.
It's awesome that I'm having the same job as 8 years ago yet I do completely different things and I'm still learning weekly.
