There are a whole host of reasons for learning German, however when I asked my readers, they responded with new and different reasons.
Here are 5 different reasons (out of the many reasons featured in this episode), in no particular order:
- Ich liebe deutsche Musik. (I love German music.)
- Die Deutschen sind praktisch und das finde ich gut. (Germans are practical and I think that's good.)
- Sprache ist für mich eine große Herausforderung. (German is a big challenge for me.)
- I work with German customers and suppliers.
- I love having a hobby.
Here are a whole bunch of reasons for learning German, and an opportunity for you to share with the other listeners and readers why you learn German.
