@j1212a 132 million people are speaking German. And to call it "language racism", when a country demands it's own language to be spoken in its country is quite racist.

@J A What, you suggest, that the Germans start using English as their main language? LOL

@kaysmith4594 I'm sorry to say, that that's exactly the attitude of native English speaking people. Never heard any person from a none speaking English country mowning about that, as all of those countries make sure, that their people are speaking more than their mothertongue. Btw, it's not always and only English as a second or third language. And I know what I'm talking about with a circle of English friends and a married on English family 😉 Like: when "my" London born spouse started to learn German, some of our English friends were asking:"whats that for, you're speaking English?!!"

@prettsmedia Germany's population: 83,13 million (2021), Country's were German is spoken: Austria, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, South Tyrol/Italy, Switzerland, partly Belgium, partly Tchechia, partly Romania, partly the Netherlands and some parts in South-America (Argentinia/Brazil). Alsace-Lorraine/France

@prettsmedia Just google about it! Switzerland has a German speaking part, as well as a French and Italian one. Same with Belgium, France etc. Those countries speaking German only are Germany and Austria. As Germany has nine direct border countries, the language doesn't stop at the border. The figures about how many people are speaking German language world wide are the official figures, visible for everybody using the Inet. Zurich/Bern = German language, South Tyrol German speaking area in Italy as it is a autonom area, etc. I've written down all those regions were German is spoken, just use the Inet to get information please ...

@prettsmedia Ok 😉 Germans are "not trying so hard", but it's our language. I wonder, how you would feel, when all of a sudden foreign people are demanding, to not speak Bulgarian in your own country anymore, that's all. Btw, I'm speaking 3 languages, but lets say, foreign doctors/ nurses coming, not able to speak the national language (where ever it is), how would you feel as a patient, not able to tell the doctor/ nurse, what your health problems are (in your own country). That's actually what it's all about... Greetings from Germany 😉

 @akhandbharat1593 Well, it depends on the job they're doing, of course.

@Nazif Have you ever been anywhere in the EU27 for work/ living?
3
@agme8045 It's not only IT, Germany needs engineers for machines, construction, development of any sort of modern technology. Btw, lots of work (the books are full), but not enough people simple as that.

@DeptalJexus Thank you very much with greetings from Germany 😉

@75VNK0 Uhhh, I think you're rather that one with those "issues ". LOL
3
@75VNK0 Just be happy over there in Bulgaria and enjoy the EU membership, where Germany is the largest funder 😉 Btw, do you know, what :barbar" means? No? The ancient Greek called everybody, who wasn't able to speak ancient Greek a "Barbar". As the Greeks didn't understand the other language, all they would understand was "bar bar bar". Therefor ..... yes, you too "gg" .... Add on: forgot to say, the language, we're using here (English), is a so called "West Germanic language", like Dutch, German, Flamic. The "Eastern Germanic languages" are Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, all based on "Germanic language roots". Oops .... Did you really bother to ask all those people from the nine direct border countries of Germany? Wow, I'm very impressed with so much effort "gg". Greetings from Germany 😉

@75VNK0 We don't come to agree on this subject. And again, may be in certain professions it might be ok to do so, but the majority of Jobs need the official language of a country. On top of that, there also exists a private life. By refusing to learn the language of the country you're living in, cuts you off. I doubt, you wouldn't talk like that, if we wouldn't talk about German here .... I also used to live abroad, and for me it was a pleasure and a must, to learn the language of the country, I was living in, due to respect.

In Lower Saxony, Bremen and Hamburg they speak the "cleanest" German.

@MashinLA_03 How is that? Mostly English speakers are the ones demanding that everybody should/ must speak English. As I've written beforehand, I know what I'm talking about, being married into a British family. Tell your story to a French or Italian, you would be amazed about their reactions LOL Btw, I also speak French and Italian (fairly), lovely languages 😉

 @manoji2447 What, because of one million Ukrainians coming into a country of 83 million? Btw, due to the war it's expensive now everywhere ..... Greetings from Germany
2
@ShyamSunder-yk8zj Yeah, all due to the British "colonialism/occupations", don't know, whats to be proud of that. At the "high time" of the British Empire, the Brits had 25% of the planets landmass under their control. So what, I think, it's pretty rude from native English speakers to demand, that they want to speak English only in a foreign, none English speaking country. The typical "English exceptionalism". Nobody is forcing you to come to the EU27/ Germany. We're happy over here without people like you.
2
@ObeySilence Exactly 😉 😉 😉

@christopherneufeldt4035 Wherever you're from with that very German name 😉, you have to friendly ask (more like demand), that you please would prefer to speak German, as you're still learning. I know it from my London born spouse, everybody wanted to speak English, as bad or not, because of trying to be polite. In the end I did a statement (LOL) on that subject, and it worked 😉 Therefor: viel Glück und alles Gute mit Grüßen aus Bremen 😉

 @kausikgupta6846 How does that come, as India had been occupied by Britain for only 300 years?! That's why it is as it is .... Greetings from Germany 😉
1
@RealCherry8085 Correct, but Gupta is an Indian name, as you know 😉, therefor my statement.
1
@MrVikas07 Yeah, correct, but Germany is looking for "foreign skilled" people, not only IT, but engineers, doctors, craftsmen, technicians, etc in general, and there the German language is required. Are you able to speak German since living in Germany? Btw, not being pedantic, but the first computer was built by a German, Konrad Zuse, same with MP3, also created by Germans, but of course I know, that todays IT language is English 😉

@Sunny Pepple Google exactly that question and you'll find official sites from German authorities should pop up. Good luck !

@Eren Yaeger May be your people should vote for a different Gvt next time?!

@DominikJuric The person I was answering to is from India. Btw, fascinating, how the boomers are made guilty for everything these days, as if all the others are real angels. LOL The younger then the boomers generations: "no" fast fashion from cheap shops, "no" coffee to go, "no" endless online ordering and sending back, "no" buying really cheap complete festival gear and dump it at festival afterwards, could go on for ever with those really sensitive resources/environmental protection activities.... btw: the "no" is meant the opposit .. Don't blame everybody but yourself, may be you're one of those, doing things I've listet up...

 @rrni2343 Did you apply in Bremen? OHB, Airbus Space, Esa, etc

@rohitgurav16 Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Alsace-Lorraine/France, South Tyrol/Italy, partly the Netherlands, partly Belgium, partly Tchechia, partly Romania. Most of those mentioned German spoken countries are some of the richest in the EU. Greetings from Germany 😉
1
@robertsmith5744 So all average Brits speak clean Oxford English and all average US citizens speak clean Harvard American English? LOL In every country of the world different dialects of the official language are spoken. Btw, Germany has the official High German language, and the Frisian, Low-German/Nedderdüütsch and Sorbic languages as well, all registered by the UNESCO World heritage as "protected minority languages". Greetings from Germany 😉
1
@MashinLA_03 So what .... dialects (more or less heavy) you have in every country, for me as a German (and a British spouse) I have problems with half of the US dialects/accents to understand, that's the nature of languages. Btw, it's always very helpful to learn (at least partly) the language of the country you're living in (English speakers included). Happy christmas by the way 😉

 @aslammighty8835 Germany is build on solidarity systems = welfare, if you don't like solidarity you're better off in Dubai....
1
@aslammighty8835 About the language you (might be) correct, even though I wouldn't mind to learn a fourth language,as I see learning a new language always as a fortune/Bonus, whatever you want to name it. But my point about solidarity was, that you were stating, that in Dubai you at least don't have to pay tax. But over here, tax paying is solidarity, because a whole countries infrastructure gets build with tax money, including school systems, kinder gardens, and lots of various social projects etc. Greetings from Germany 😉

@terrormapu It's not a duty to come to Germany ... Your statement, that "learning another language reduces the brain capacity" LOL In fact, as more languages someone speaks, as better it's for your brain.
1
@rashidkhalid3970 Well, it's not a duty to come to Germany, is it ?!
1
@terrormapu As I speak three languages, able to swap language in the middle of a sentence, I've never ones recognised any "slow down" of thinking. It's just a very cheap excuse LOL
1
@terrormapu Well, what is your statement about languages all about? Doesn't make sense, really. Greetings to India 😉
1
@terrormapu I do 😉
