Whatever your interests, a knowledge of German can expand your opportunities. German is a global language, spoken by one hundred million people throughout the world. When you know German, you can read German literature, enjoy German films, and follow current events in German-speaking Europe. You can pursue research and employment opportunities with the many German, Austrian, and Swiss companies that have operations in North America (for a list of German firms located in Alabama, visit www.alabamagermany.org). Or you can venture abroad and live and work in German-speaking Europe. The ability to communicate in German will help you take advantage of these many possibilities.
