WHY GERMAN?
● Germany is Europe’s largest economy and ranked third among the world’s largest economies in 2025.
● German is Europe’s most widely spoken language.
● Germany is a hub of craftsmanship, scientific breakthroughs, culture, and cutting-edge innovation.
● Learning German is easier than you think: If you speak English, you’re already ahead! Both languages share similar vocabulary and grammar – so you’ve got a head start.
