Top 5 Reasons to learn German

1. Resemblance between German and English

If you are proficient in the English language, you actually enjoy an advantage for learning German because both of them are West-Germanic languages.

Germany is the cradle of great literary and musical works produced by renowned poets, thinkers and musicians such as Goethe, Kafka, Mozart, Bach and Beethoven.

3. Gateway to a World-class Higher Education

Germany’s universities have an excellent international reputation but mostly charge a very low or non-existent tuition fee, not to mention the numerous scholarships and other support to study.

4. Convenience for Traveling in Europe

Boasting its central location in Europe, Germany is home to myriads of travel destinations welcomed by globetrotters. 

5. Opportunities through the Economic Powerhouse

Germany is the biggest economy within the European Union and the fourth largest worldwide, which also strongly advocates environmental protection.
