nevermind speaking german, how about the scousers learning english first !
i think the germans put controls on work permits for the new EU states that joined since 2004,
'In general, citizens of these new EU member states can enter Germany without a visa. In order to take up a gainful employment, they have to apply for a work permit (Arbeitsgenehmigung) at the local Employment Agency (Arbeitsagentur).'
