German is often regarded as a harsh sounding,
difficult and isolated language, however most people’s perceptions could be
hardly further from the truth. This article will discuss some key reasons as to
why German learning is so important, from an economic, cultural, linguistic and
academic stance.
The
Economy
Economically Germany is
not only the largest Economy in Europe, but the fourth largest in the
world. Therefore anyone aspiring for a
career in business or finance would find German a very useful and important
tool in aiding their career. The Economy is so strong that despite the recent
and rising migration crisis, Germanys
economy has remained stable.
The
Global Business opportunities
Germany is well known for its
innovative and successful global
business’s, therefore knowledge in the language would particularly help a
future career with the potential to be working in the headquarters of any of
the German brands including : BMW, Adidas,
Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Puma. It is important to highlight Germanys
contribution towards the international market as they are not often recognised
for their global contributions.
The
Fashion Industry
Germany’s fashion industry is one
of the most prominent in the world with their concentration on the new young
designers. Berlin Fashion week holds a huge variety of talents, which is not
surprising with the amount of popular German designers and fashion figures such
as , Karl Lagerfeld, Hugo Boss, Heidi Klum and Wolfgang Doop.
A
widely spoken language
Not only is German one of the
official languages of the European Union, but the most widely spoken language
in Europe. Learning German offers a
chance to connect and network globally with over 100 million people who are
able to speak it!
German
Culture
Whether your passion is
for art or history Germany offers a huge variety of cultural heritage sites. An
understanding of the language could give you a chance to learn about these in
far more depth and detail. Whether it’s
visiting checkpoint Charlie, the Reichstag or even Oktoberfest your language
knowledge can lead you anywhere.
Trade
Germany is the Uk’s largest export
market in Europe and the second largest globally giving anyone with strong German language knowledge a head start
in the business industry.
Although I have only touched upon a few benefits of
learning German, whether your main interest is languages or politics or
science, German opens the door to a world of academia with renowned
philosophers, inventors and musicians. I hope this article has shed light on the
endless possibilities and opportunities that learning Gemma can open.
