For day to day activities in Germany, we recommend students learn up to at least A2 level of German which will make them at ease when it comes to speaking for their daily lives in Germany. However, if it is possible you should take time and learn German language courses upto B1 level as this will make things a lot much easier in day to day life and to find part time jobs once you reach Germany.
