Learn German in Berlin? I know that many people here who want to learn French or Spanish do it by moving to France or Spain to work or study there.
Given your qualification you will very likely be able to earn money in Berlin without speaking any German. And everything else won’t be a problem either, since you speak English.
Also see here. Sounds a bit weird, since as someone from Poland you won’t need any “integration” assistance, but those courses are free, or very cheap, and help you to learn German. And as a citizen of the European Union you are not obliged to anything, so you can leave if you don’t like it.
Seconded; move to Germany to learn German, not the reverse.
I spent torturous years studying French in school, had tutors, went to camps, and still spoke embarrassing broken anglo French. One semester living in France (studying Biostatistics, not French) and I’m comfortably fluent.
Note: This is about language learning only. I don’t know enough to comment on the other aspects of your decision.
I know German good enough to communicate (I make a lot of mistakes though). It’s not the main factor holding me from moving there right away. The reason I’m planning to work as Java programmer in Poland is to earn some money. I will need it to rent a living place and survive first months before i find a job.
On the bright side, you can start your search for a job in Berlin, from Poland; you don’t need to wait until you’ve moved there. I’d recommend going ahead and making phone calls or sending e-mail to potential employers and recruiting agencies immediately, in parallel with your current plans.
