Some of these companies prefer applicants who have some knowledge of the German language, though fluency isn’t a must. Others are solely interested that you meet the qualifications necessary to carry out the job effectively and that your written and spoken English are of a high standard. Though you may find a job where German isn’t in the least bit required, this doesn’t mean that it isn’t necessary to learn the language. You should attempt to do so, as it may help in bettering your relationship with German colleagues, as well as improve your social life in Germany. Learning a language is always easier when you’re in the heart of it all, hearing the language around every corner, on the television, in the grocery store. Take advantage of this opportunity even when it isn’t required for your work environment.
