Germany is the leading economy in Europe and the 3rd largest in the world. German speakers are therefore highly sought after by many employers - particularly since the number of people learning German in the UK is in sharp decline.
Germany is also at the heart of innovation with 4 of the top 10 most innovative companies being located in Germany. German is therefore the ideal choice for anyone considering a future in technology, engineering or science.
German is the most widely spoken language in Europe and is the official language of Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein as well as the native language for many people living in northern Italy, eastern Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, eastern France, parts of Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Romania. In fact over 300 million people speak German around the world.
