Why Should you Learn German?
Besides the fact that Germany is one of the most economically
powerful countries and that they are current FIFA World Cup
winners, there are many other very important reasons why
studying German is important. Whatever your field of study is,
learning German greatly increase your chances of improving
professional skills and competitiveness.
1. Germany is the third world´s economy and #1 in exports.
German products are of high quality and highly desirable. To
learn German means to provide for a better opportunity of
landing into this awesome and non-stopping European
economy. This powerful economy expands to other nations
providing work opportunities worldwide. Think of companies
such as BMW, Siemens, Lufthansa, Bosch, SAP, and many
more with partners all around the world. Knowing the German
language provides a better opportunity of successful
relationships with these companies.
2. The German language has a huge cultural and scientific
heritage. All you have to do is think of Goethe, Marx, and Kahn.
How about Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss, and Wagner. The
most famous scientist, Einstein and many others are a testimony
of German huge heritage to humanity. Many important areas of
everyone´s lives are somehow affected by discoveries made by
Germans. Graduate programs in major universities require their
graduates to have at least a basic level of German knowledge.
To this you must add that 18% of world literature is written in
German and very few of these are translated. The only way to
access this steam of knowledge and innovation is to learn
German.
3. The internet domain .com is, of course the largest one on the
Internet. Technically it does not belong to any country, even
though we know it is the one used by USA as own. But the
Germany domain, .de, is the second most used domain in the
Internet. So basically, Germany rules the World Wide Web with
more than 8 million domains. The closest competitor, .uk, has an
approximate 3.7 million domains.
4. Germans are hard workers but they are also hard travelers.
With a high-standard way of living and average six weeks of
vacation per year, Germans are the greatest spenders of tourism
dollars. You find Germans traveling practically everywhere in
the world. They usually travel to the Northern Europe countries
and the Americas. This means that they have established their
presence in many places. Tourist agencies that know this,
require their guides to know German. So guess who is going to
have an advantage on getting the job as a tourist guide in places
where Germans tour the most.
5. Germany is a very powerful economy that is sustained by its
hard-working population. But they also realize that international
cooperation is essential to maintaining their leadership. This is
the reason why Germany has a strong fund for educational
international cooperation. We are talking about more than
60,000 international educational programs. Besides this, foreign
students that enroll into German universities, just like German
students, pay no monthly tuition. One way to successfully get
into a German university: learn German.
