Why It Makes Sense to Learn German

The German language is the first language of over 100 million people who primarily live in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. These countries are highly developed and economically strong, thus making them attractive locations for work and living.

Many workers come from distressed nations looking to join these active workforces, and since Germanic nations are the international headquarters for many scientific and technological powerhouses, they attract many highly-educated foreign workers.

Even if you aren't planning on packing up and moving to Germany, many international companies work closely with German speakers, and many Germanic companies are international commerce and production leaders.

A Challenge Worth Investing In

The Germans used to say, "German language, difficult language," and there is some truth to that. Mastering the grammar requires a lot of effort, time, patience and most importantly, practice. Some of the topics that create problems for English speakers are the four different cases, the three noun genders, the distinct verb forms according to person and tense, and sentence construction.

On the other hand, German and English are more similar than most people think. As Germanic languages, they are closely related. Because of this, you will understand German words and texts quite quickly. If you want to test this theory, take a look at the vocabulary of a Slavic language. As a beginner, you may not recognize a single word.
