Warum+Deutsch?+Why+German?

==nnnnnnn Germany's Economy is the 3rd largest in the world, and it has the biggest GNP of all the nations in the EU... There are hundreds of companies (engineering firms, pharmaceutical companies, banks, etc.) which do business in Germany, even if they are not German themselves. There is a great demand for employees to not just be educated in their chosen field (be it accounting, finance, business, marketing or medicine), but to also be proficient in German language and culture... Add an additional language to your repertoire, and there's no limit to your career choices!! ==
