Sorry for the derail but is Berlin a nice place to live? I've only seen pics. I'd love to spend a few months in Germany. Need some basic german first, though.
I am actually from Hong Kong myself and had 0 knowledge of German before I moved here and currently operate at A1 within the european language framework ( shit level ). Everyone speaks English in Berlin, very international.
Not sure about visa and such for Americans, or cost relative to Chicago but Berlin is considered a fairly cheap place to live excluding rent. This place loves techno and the partying scene is a little crazy.
The summer is the best time with lots of festivals and events hosted in the day , parades etc. If you are looking to spend a few months here I would suggest between mid April - August. The day time festivities allow you to take a break without having to disrupt your sleep schedule.
