German Program
Why Study German?
- Germany is the second largest exporting nation in the world, therefore German is a great choice for business.
- English and German are both Germanic languages, so German is easier to learn than you think.
- About a fifth of Americans trace their ancestry to German-speaking countries, so get prepared to read your great-grandparents' letters.
- Unlock the linguistic key to great works of writers and philosophers such as Kafka, Hesse, Nietzsche, and Freud.
- German immigrants have made major contributions to American culture: thanks for the Kindergarten and the Tannenbaum!
