Do your schools offer German as a secondary or third foreign language?
To me this is a very unusal thing. I think that learning Spanish, French or Russian is far more useful.

Since few years in elementary kids learn a little bit of English and some local dialects depending on the area.
In the 1st year of middle school you choose your first language between German and English then in 3rd year there is a shitload of secondary languages.

Depending of the school, yes, as a third language

is german popular?

Some high schools do, here. Varies from high school to high school here. It's only ever optional though.

Secondary language must be French, as it's an official language.

You're right, German is useless, but it's sad that it came to that

German was main international language to learn in Soviet Union. Not it's English.

No but you can kind of gauge the social standing and/or academic performance of a (former) French student by asking them what language they choose. Good students tend to choose Germans while suckers went the easy route and tend to choose Spanish.

English and German were mandatory in my primary and the first two years of high school. The last two years it was optional.

I don't know if it's popular or not but we were a lot to have German as a first language in middle school and English as a secondary. Plus we made fun of English learning students by calling them "Arschloch" or "Hurehsohn" without them understanding and getting mad. I remember yelling "saugst du?" with a friend during other classes too.

The funny thing was no one understood except the kids learning German who were the only one laughing

>Spanish, French or Russian is far more useful.
Why? Because some African backwater shitholes speak French, some backwater American shitholes speak Spanish, and some backwater Asian shitholes speak Russian? All of those shitholes put together probably have a smaller economy than 1 region of Germoney, which makes them utterly irrelevant.
Europe is Germany with some wacky attachments, that's the sad truth.

You don't choose your language
The system goes like this
English is mandatory for all 3 types of schools here (public, chartered and private ones)
Then, if you're lucky, or if you have the money, you can go to one of the schools that offers german as a third language. Most of them are private ones (usually called colegios alemanes), with a few being chartered. By obvious reasons they are much more common on southern Chile.

I went to a school that specialised in languages (on paper) and we could choose between french, german or Spanish

agreed

The standard 3rd language options here are French and Arabic, but there a few singular schools where there are other options, among them German.

What do Israelis think about the French territories in the holy land?

I learned german in highschool

You can take it as second language (english or german) or third (german, russian, french, japanese).

It's sometimes the optional second language on some schools, either niche old private schools founded by groups of German immigrants, or iirc on industrial/technical highschools where a lot of the manuals and documentation for the machinery they worked with was historically in German
Other than that, no, it's pretty unusual to find German on any school program

Redpill me on Ö, Hans

Three foreign languages are mandatory here up unitl the later half where you are allowed to drop some.
i had to do English,German and French

But it did make this as a result having to take three.

Primary school had German and Mandarin
High school had German, French, Japanese, and Indonesian.

Very strange choice having German as an option. We should've had Spanish instead. More native speakers.

So your teacher was Ali from the trainstation.
Nice he finally found a job.

I chose German because it's related to Swedish. After school was done and over I forgot every single thing I ever learned from those classes

When I was in Bogota I found some German schools there.
Those teached German basically from small on and where all private and quite pricay. Even the curiculum is oriented on our Abitur.
I asked parents that send their children there and they told me. When they finnish school they will be fluent and German and then come here for studying.
Aperently sending their children here to study is cheaper than to let them study at home.
Buffling.

English mandatory 9 years. German or Fremch 5 years as second language, but most schools only offer German so like 90% in the country study that. If you go to gymnasium you have to take an additional two years of English and either 2 years of German/French or 3 years of a third language. Dumb students take Spanish, smart ones take German or French.
German is the absolute best language to learn for getting a job here. University degrees in German have literally 0% unemployment.

Some elite schools usually offer you to learn Spanish, French or Deutsch.
German is popular among young translators and interpreters

My aunt has learnt German as a 2nd language during her schooling. German as 2nd language used to be common in Korea before 90's it seems. She said it was a nightmarish language.

Why do u think that Spanish is worse than German? It is not really hard to find a job with Spanish

Dunno about other countries but here in Denmark it is an undeniable fact that German is without doubt the most useful and in-demand language for getting a job, followed by French. We simply do a lot of trade with German and French speaking countries but noone wants to study them at uni, everyone wants to study something "exotic" like Spanish.

>5.3 million words
yeah and 3 million must be words like Kranführerausbilder

Well, Spanish is not exactly exotic. It has 483 million native speakers. Btw Iam studying these 2 lang at the same time, Spanish in my uni and German in Goethe-Institut and u know what? Sometimes I really regret about choosing Spanish as a target lang, but I am moving on and hope that when I graduate from bachelor course I will be fluent in both langs.

I deeply respect all non native speakers who learned German when they were adults

Yea, here most people rather study spanish, french or go into some "exotic" languages like arabic or chinese.
I think studying german is quite underrated compared to those, as Germany is Italy's biggest trading partner both for exports and imports. There may be a lot more chinese speakers than german speakers, but professionally you're way less likey to have to deal with them since their on another continent.
Like we litterally export to motherfucking Switzerland twice what we export to China.

Yes, as a third language in secondary school.

german is the most useful european language after english

To me it is even stranger, we learn German at school as primary language. Just we don't speak German as a primary language. Also Romands & Ticinesi learn German as second language in school, and for the rest of their natural lives complain that we don't speak German but Alemannic and they can't understand a word.

That map is cheating, he just left Switzerland out because we would win that hands down.

Third language after French (8 years) and english (5 years).
But i took the /sci/ route in highschool so i only had mandatory lessons 1 hour a week for 1 year so i can't write it for shit, but i understand written German relatively well because it's very close to Dutch.

>90% in the country study that
based Legomänner

yes, but i chose french. fuck german.

>German
>2
lel. Plenty of people who can barely hold a conversation here.
We are like the burgers of Europe, we expect everyone to speak German

When I went to school, English was mandatory.
And then we had the option between German and French.

Most people in my class picked German, except for two kids who wanted French... So those two got forced into taking German instead.

I then switched school in the middle of that year and my new school didn't offer German(or French) to me since it was a special class. So I never really learned to speak it. I can still understand some of it when I hear it, but I wouldn't be able to answer anyone that tried to talk to me.
Meanwhile I've never been in the situation where I needed German (or French), even at the German Border Shops. So it seems I haven't really lost out on anything.

>Do your schools offer German as a secondary or third foreign language?

Normally no. English is the secondary language while French is the third foreign language, but It is incresingly becoming more common for some colleges to teach German instead of french.

Mine did

The only ones that use German in Denmark are tourist places that have to deal with the huge amount of Germans that retake the beaches each year. Old habits die hard. They really do love visiting those Nazi Bunkers that still remains.

>German Border Shops
They all speak Danish down there anyway.

Overall, German is really useless in Denmark, unless its some company that directly deals with Germans that refuse to learn English.

My high school did, my hometown only offered Spanish cause it was a small town and we had a Mexican there but when I moved to Colorado you had a choice between spanish, french, and german. I took german because of my schedule just so I could get the morning period off (I was already in grade 11 at this time) and it was pretty cool, if I stuck around for year 3 we would have gone on a trip somewhere but I graduated by then :(
It’s been four years and my teacher must have been good because I can still understand german both spoken and written for the most part but I can’t speak it at all since I haven’t uttered a word of it since high school
But if I went to Germany I could probably find my way around easily, because of that and well, I also speak Arabic since my parents are from Morocco
If you think it’s uncommon for schools to learn german you’re right, I’ve known people who took Italian, Japanese, and even fucking Danish. I think you’ll only find german speakers in Montana or North Dakota and many german larpers in the midwest

What if you’re a humble Bavarian farmer living in a quiet valley why never even owned a tv in his life?

>No but you can kind of gauge the social standing and/or academic performance of a (former) French student by asking them what language they choose
I was always curious if that was a thing in other countries like it is here
Here slackers default to Spanish as well
Smart girls all take French
German is divided between smart kids with a legitimate interest, metalheads who listen to too much Rammstein, and asshats who want to make nazi jokes
It's a bizarre collection

you dont have to pay if
>youre on welfare
>youre blind
>youre an in-patient

that you're obliged to pay for it is shit but they create decent content and only a Yas Forums tier person would call it propaganda.

Most schools do. Some schools offer it as a primary foreign language alongside with English. The secondary foreign language is usually a choice between Russian and German (some schools might offer Finnish and French). Third foreign language is not mandatory, but my gymnasium had a lot to choose from (Russian, German, Finnish, French, Spanish, Chinese and Sign language).

I learned English as a first language and chose German as the second one. I picked Russian as my third and because I have a slightly russophone background I picked it up fast. I don't remember much German desu, I understood grammar but my vocabulary was shite.

I want to study German at university, maybe combined with French and become a gymnasium teacher. Pic related says that in our entire cunt only 25 people graduated with a degree in German and 11 in French in 2015, and half of French teachers and one third of German teachers in gymnasium are over the age of 60.
I just gotta figure out if I want to combine German with French or maths.
