In conclusion, I would like to add a few reasons why you should learn German:
- he is one of the most widespread in Europe;
- Germany is actually the center of the European Union, and German products are competitive;
And most importantly, the German language is simple: if you clearly know the system of sounds, it will be clear how a particular word is written and pronounced. In addition, it has similarities with English.
