Why study German? – There are so many reasons...

For one, German is one of the most important languages if you want to get around and meet people. In Europe alone you will be able to communicate with over 101 million people, as German is the most commonly spoken language here.

Speaking and understanding German will deepen your knowledge of the culture and improve your employment opportunities.

The arts: German is the language of many traditional and modern writers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Thomas Mann and Günter Grass. Next to literature, German films and music are becoming very popular.

Then there's the business side: Many international corporations are based in Germany, adding to Germany's status as a renowned international business partner with a strong economy. Proficient language skills are necessary to open new global markets and the German language plays an important role in international business contacts. And if you look across the borders, Germans account for the largest percentage of tourists. If you work in the tourist industry or plan to do so, German is therefore an important asset.

As for science and technology, German is also the second-most commonly used scientific language.

And, not to forget, it's fun to meet us, too: The Soccer World Cup in Germany in 2006 brought many international guests to Germany, who enjoyed the warm hospitality, enthusiasm and joie de vivre that you are welcome to experience yourself when you come to Germany.
