Why? School pupils won't even bother learning German anymore, instead opting for spanish or even chinese

Teaching foreigners your language doomed Japan.

Eastern euros learn german. They want to move there for work

>>211775443 (OP)
soft power = lowest common denominator goyslop

they are right in deciding to not even trying it

>Spanish
>Chinese

I don't know why anyone would bother with these two.

>>211775443 (OP)
europe is irrelevant since ww2 bro

>>211775587
>spanish
so they can study a semester in spain
>chinese
either because they think china is gonna become superpower or it's just exotic. they won't actually learn anything but basic phrases

Hitlers' rule either killed or drove out everyone who did "Entartete Kunst", degenerate art. so basically all modernist artists.

it becomes rarer and rarer, though, the trend of replacing German with Spanish/French or some other fancy language is present here as well, especially the more "posh" and "elite" the school wants to appear

>>211775902
also, very few students take German classes seriously, they just mostly stick to English, especially that it's enough to get by in Germany

>>211775935
>especially that it's enough to get by in Germany
I feel very very sorry for people expecting this coming here

>>211775980
i think it really is enough because at work you have more contact with 30 other immigrant groups from various ethnicites and very few Germans so (broken) English naturally becomes your language of communication, and your supervisor is usually an ethnic guy at this point too, only the main boss is German but you will usually never have anything to do with him

Who cares? More people speaking your language isnt an advantage, most media that gets produced is slop anyway, and just look how English has suffered from billions of browns learning it. Much better to have a white exclusive language, that is why I exclusively retreat to speaking dialect, it remains unpolluted by browns

>>211776194
wtf u mean? german countries are getting tons of browns

>>211776232
Read my post again, mutt

You dont understand the German mindset; focused on improving & bettering your world. Diplomacy is about compromise. The idea of a 'necessary evil' feels evil

Oh well, it's that time of century to fall back on hard power anyway.

he's not wrong in the sense the shape of the anglosphere is even worse, and that has a lot to o with jeets and pakis having an easy time with English.

isn't your cultural sphere spammed by let's say Namibians?

Germany doesn't have great Romantic conductors anymore either

>>211775980
I've lived in Germany and you can easily get by with just English

>>211775443 (OP)
Because this. It seems your country struggles to have a truly independent coherent foreign policy.

>>211776044
This, you don't need German to live in Germany, there are enough migrants there that you won't ever have to interact with actual Germans

>>211775443 (OP)
What's funny is people fleeing to Germany, and then thinking their broken Deutsch will help them upgrade to Switzerland
>>211779872
Sure, but they'll despise you, roll their eyes and treat you as walking toe jam
