Background on German Language:

German is essential for students interested in Philosophy, the Natural Sciences, Economics, History, Music and the Fine Arts. Learn German and get to know the new unified Germany as well as historic Austria and beautiful Switzerland.

German is linguistically similar to English and is, therefore, relatively easy for an English speaker to learn. One American in four is of German ancestry, making it by far the largest ethnic group in America (an estimated 57.9 million people carry this ancestry!). German is the language of 110 million native speakers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and is by far the most widely spoken language in Western Europe. Economically and scientifically, German ranks among the three most important world languages.

The contributions of the German-speaking countries to Western culture have been tremendous with the accomplishments of artists, philosophers, musicians, athletes, writers and scientists such as Goethe, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Einstein, Freud – even Arnold Schwarzenegger.
