Why Study German in Washington DC

As the official language of Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Luxembourg, just to name a few, knowing German can help you forge new international connections and expand your horizons worldwide. For example, German companies such as Liebherr and T-Mobile, a subsidiary of the German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG, have a strong presence in D.C. and are constantly on the lookout for new bilingual talents.

Learn German for Social: Work aside, Washington DC offers many opportunities for those who are more interested in making friends with similar interests in the German language. For example, you can join the Washington, DC German Meetup group, with more than 3,000 members who get together weekly to practice the language while having outdoor picnics and happy hours! And if you have children, you can also join the Arlington Deutsche Spielgruppe-German Playgroup, a group for German-speaking families who would like to give their children the chance to play with other German speakers. After the meeting, you can go and have some traditional German food at the Cafe Berlin on Massachusetts Ave, well-known for their authentic German bread and sweets. Another option is Cafe Mozart DC on H St, for example, a place that offers delicious dishes such as schnitzel and fresh apple strudel that you can order while listening to live music in German. You will be able to understand both the menu in German and the lyrics after taking some lessons with us at Language Trainers!

Learn German for Culture: In 2016, around 44 million US citizens claimed full or partial German ancestry, meaning that many aspects of German culture can be found all over D.C. As an example, the Goethe Institute on K St frequently organizes music concerts and film festivals featuring some of Germany’s best artists. You can try and approach them after the show and impress them with your newly-acquired German skills! And if you are interested in history, you will be happy to know that the Library of Congress on Independence Ave has an extensive German collection, the largest one outside of Germany.
