About the German language

So why learn German?
A major world language
As one of the world's major languages, German has been the conduit for publications in many learned fields: medicine, the natural sciences, philosophy, and languages. Many terms now used in these fields originated from German.
Literature
German has a rich literature dating from mediaeval times until the present day. Its most famous writers from the classical period (18th century) include Goethe, Schiller, and Lessing, and from the twentieth century Brecht, Böll, and Grass.
Travel
Many of the German speaking countries such as Austria and Switzerland boast exotic scenery and historic towns. A knowledge of the language will enhance a visit to these countries.
There are two main divisions of the German language: High German (Hochdeutsch), and Low German (Plattdeutsch). With an accent/ sound shift which affected the southern areas, a more elevated place and therefore referred to as the High German region, whereas it left untouched the Low German prevalent in the lowland regions of the North. In a broader and purely linguistic sense, the term Low German can also be extended to cover all the West Germanic languages in which the second sound shift did not take place.
The language played a big role as an international language in diplomacy and commerce as well as among educated people during the last few centuries; it still enjoys great prestige.
