I just had to share this with you!
The Telegraph posted a very interesting slide show today about the 10 best languages to study. Guess which is the best one?
I show you the no 1 slide:
Yes, it’s German!
“Germany remains the largest single export market for British goods outside of the USA, and Europe’s largest economy – with a GDP of more than €2.4 trillion – continues to defy the eurozone downturn. So it’s no surprise that UK companies want to hire employees who know their umlauts from their eszetts.”
Need I say more?
We used to deliver a lot of stuff to Germany, but now more goes to Portugal, Spain and Russia. Perhaps if our German was better… (well actually Kev’s is better than mine)
There’s only one way to find out: Improve your German and see what happens 😉
Knowing German has paid off very well for an engineer friend who now works for Volkswagen in Chattanooga!
Brilliant! I love to hear stories like that!
Also, I should have mentioned that I love to sing in German—it is a beautiful language. 🙂
I sometimes do German singing workshops. Unfortunately, you live too far away!
Since I work on German cars… maybe I should think about learning it!
Via Skype maybe?
