Why study in Germany?

Despite all the jokes about German being a difficult and impossible language, if you are an English speaker, you are lucky. The German and English languages ​​share many word similarities called “common words”.  For example, the English word “water” is “wasser” in German. Unlike Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Arabic, among others, there is no new alphabet to learn, only a few vowel sounds represented by diacritical marks are added to the language.  

Considering the fact that many of the world’s most influential achievements originate from Germany, the German language is important. More than 100 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Germans for achievements in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, and in other fields.

Citizens from other German-speaking countries, such as Austria and Switzerland, have been awarded prizes as well, and many award winners from other countries have studied at Germany’s fine universities. It seems that if you wish to add a Nobel Prize to your resume, learning German will not be a bad start!

Study German in Halle.

In order to learn German, one needs to become immersed in the language for optimal acquisition. In Halle you will be living with a host family and immersed in German society.   Learning German in Halle is an effective means to learn and speak German faster because people in Halle generally do not speak English.

This forces you to use German in order to communicate with others, and that means you acquire fluency in German in a much shorter period of time. In Berlin or in many other cities, residents speak English, which decreases your opportunities to practice the German you are trying to acquire. Immersion is restricted.

As an aside, German speakers of English often want to practice their English with a native English speaker, thereby reducing even further your opportunities to use the German you are learning.
