How about German major?

Scope of use of German:

Among the top ten mother languages in the world, the population of Hochdeutsch(Standar German) is nearly 1 100 million (98 million), and most of them are distributed in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Of every 10 books published in the world, 1 is written in German. As a translated text, German ranks third in the world after English and French.

German is the only official language in these countries:

Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein

German is one of the official languages of the following countries:

Belgium (and French and Dutch), Italy (and Italian, French and Slovenian), Luxembourg (and Luxemburg and French), Switzerland (and French, Italian and Romance).

German is the minority language of the following countries (according to the number of speakers):

Denmark, France, Russia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Togo, Namibia, Paraguay, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Netherlands, Ukraine, Croatia, Moldova, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.

German is the most frequently studied foreign language in the world (the second highest in Europe), and it is a medical term instead of Latin in Japan.

Historical background of German:

The historical records of Germanic languages began in BC 1 century. German belongs to the Germanic language of Indo-European family, as do English, Frisian and Dutch.

Since English and German are kinship languages, learning German is helpful to English, just as it is easy for a person who can speak Wuhan dialect to learn Sichuan dialect.

After learning some German common sense

The prospect of speaking German can be roughly divided into two aspects: the prospect of social employment and the prospect of studying abroad.

Social employment prospects.

1 German brand:

If you want to find a job, you have to find a company and an industry. How many related industries are there in China and Germany?

Cars: Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche. The industrial standard of automobile manufacturing industry is "German industrial standard", so we need some German translators and skilled workers who know German.

Electrical appliances: Siemens.

Life: Selling Delong Supermarket, Adidas Henkel, Tsingtao Beer, Zyrnior Props, Nivea Cosmetics, and even some domestic kitchen utensils, such as rags, are all made in Germany.

Medicine: Bayer

Technology: Merck. High precision industrial pressure and temperature instrument parts.

English is about to become a daily language.

One of the important reasons why learning German has a good employment environment is that things are scarce and expensive.

Everyone should learn English, including our German students, and master basic English communication skills.

Then, in the era when English is rampant and CET-4 and CET-6 certificates are rampant, what advantages do you use to impress recruiting enterprises?

Second foreign language. Then the choice of a second foreign language can directly guide the country's economic status and scientific and technological strength.

See if the language you learn is useful. And Germany's leading position in Europe is unshakable.

3. The rise of emerging industries such as environmental protection and energy utilization.

As we all know, Germany leads the world in environmental protection and energy utilization. These industries will also be the future of China.

Ten years or more promotion and development. When we came back from studying in Germany. When we master German.

Mastering German technical means, we have become the leaders in these industries, just like computers 20 years ago.

Industry.

Is it true that German companies do not speak German?

I saw many friends on the Internet discussing that German companies speak English most of the time, so German is useless.

Yes, I don't deny that the working language of German companies is English.

However, this shows the preciousness of German. In German enterprises, most of our leaders may be Germans. Their English is fluent, but it is their foreign language after all. So after work, they prefer to speak German. At this time, if an employee can communicate and entertain with him in German outside of work, then, in a sense, he is ahead of other employees.

In addition, as far as I know, some German machinery manufacturing companies will send many technicians to China for on-site demonstration and guidance. These people are called blue-collar workers. Not all people can speak English. At this time, the representative of China can only speak English. How to communicate? And some mechanical words have no corresponding English.

German companies are more willing to recruit English-Chinese bilingual talents because they think it can save human resources.

College students tend to choose German more and more.

Nowadays, many universities offer German as a second foreign language, which not only gives students more credits, but also gives them extra weight in language and future employment.

As far as social training is concerned, the current training environment in Germany is very similar to that in Britain in the 1990s. Everyone knows a little, but they are not eager. I believe that in the near future, there will be a German training institution similar to New Oriental, which will ignite everyone's passion for learning German and understanding German culture. Therefore, I believe that the occupation of German teachers will be very tight.

Of course, "Beyond Language" will also join this army and devote itself to this industry, hoping to provide a complete learning platform for friends who study German.

Universities began to choose German talents among high school students.

Now German is not a small language in the traditional sense. In 2006, Wuhan Evening News published a news that the national 16 colleges and universities have started to recruit minority language high school graduates on a pilot basis. Including Wuhan University. Moreover, the state promises that the employment of professionals in this field will tend to foreign affairs, foreign journalists, diplomats, international negotiations and so on.

Second, the prospect of studying abroad

I think this is the most controversial topic that all German learners want to find out.

1 German universities have a long history and learning atmosphere.

The oldest university in Germany is Heidelberg University, which has a history of 620 years. Many universities have a history of more than 300 years and have produced many Nobel Prize winners. Therefore, there is no doubt about the teaching quality and cultural atmosphere of German universities.

Especially in some advantageous majors, such as law, medicine, machinery manufacturing, environmental protection, etc., it is an academic paradise that people yearn for.

Tuition fees of German universities

Many people will say that German universities have already started to charge tuition fees, and they have no advantages in the past.

First of all, Germany doesn't charge tuition every week. You can find out whether to charge tuition before you go out. Some schools only charge a certain fee for students who have studied for more than a specified number of years.

Secondly, even the fees, living expenses and study fees are much cheaper than many European and American countries. From an economic point of view, this is also a great advantage.

In addition, the policy of charging tuition fees for several weeks has aroused strong dissatisfaction among many students, and demonstrations have occurred from time to time. Therefore, I think this move may be subject to certain restrictions and obstacles.

3 Problems in the German academic system

Many people say that Germany's academic system is too long and there is no advantage in returning to China to find a job.

Indeed, Germany has to study Diplom or Magister for 5-6 years, and is still studying hard and can finish the credits on time.

But now many universities in Germany offer international courses or bilingual courses. The academic system is also a "bachelor's degree" and a "master's degree" in line with international standards, which is conducive to the assessment of domestic units or enterprises after obtaining foreign diplomas.

Then, even if you study Diplom, you will be considered as a master when you return to China, and it will take you six years to get a master's degree from university in China (and you think you can take the postgraduate entrance examination once).

There is a university in Germany called FH, which has a short academic system and concentrated majors, and is more inclined to cultivate applied talents. Now it is more and more popular with international students.

4 German local employment opportunities

After studying in Germany for more than 4 years, you may have been picked away by the company before graduation, which laid a good foundation for you to settle in Germany. Although I am neutral about immigration, it is also a good choice if you can live in a country that makes you feel comfortable, elegant environment and good air quality. Maybe, you have better development opportunities there. Be able to return to China from a German company to be the general agent or person in charge in China. I think this is also the dream of everyone who goes abroad. In Germany, there are many such opportunities, because many large companies will sponsor schools, which is why many German universities can not charge tuition fees. Then the company will give priority to the talents needed in universities. Some people even hire them directly and give them work visas.
