• German is the language of commerce, business, science, tourism, research, literature and music. Over 60,000 new books are published in Germany each year, equivalent to 18% of books published world wide, making Germany the 3rd largest publisher of books in the world.

• The German tongue is the mother of the English language. By learning German you will also learn more about the history of English words and grammar.
  
  
• Grammar is international. Once you are familiar with a full set of functions and terminology as extensive and rich as in in German, you can apply them to any new language you attempt thereafter, thus making the acquisition so much easier. The rules might differ, but the parts are the same. As for English: never again will you be unclear about the usage of who and whom, I and me, and you will develop an entirely new appreciation of Chaucer and Shakespeare.
