German is valued highly in the academic community because Germany’s universities have an excellent international reputation. In 2011, the country was the fourth-most-popular destination for students from abroad, with more than a quarter million foreigners enrolled in German schools.
German is the most widely spoken native language in Europe, and a prominent second language in Central and Eastern Europe. In the English-speaking world, German is also the third-most-taught foreign language.
German and English are both Germanic languages. Consequently, they have thousands of closely related words that are easy for speakers of both languages to recognize. These are known as “cognates.” For example, the English word for “chin” is Kinn in German. “Water” becomes Wasser and “father” turns into Vater. Not so hard after all, is it?

Valuable information. Lucky me I found your website by chance, and I am surprised why this coincidence didn’t happened in advance!
I bookmarked it.
I am not sure where you are getting your information, but great topic.
I needs to spend some time learning more or
understanding more. Thanks for excellent info I was looking for this information for
my mission.
Yabla really sounds great and you clearly have my interest. But I just recently enrolled in this German evening course and I’m wondering if it would be reasonable to also buy you courses. Because your site would be nothing more than ‘accompanying material’ for my courses. Would you still recommend yabla in my position?
Combining an evening course with Yabla is absolutely ideal. The class will give you an overview of grammar and the opportunity to practice speaking, while Yabla will expand your vocabulary and give you the opportunity to listen to native speakers.
