Learning to speak, read, and write a second language will deepen your understanding of another culture and of your own language, thus enriching your life. Approximately 90 million people speak German as a first language. It is the sole official language of Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, and the co-official or minority language in seven other European countries. Competency in this language will allow you to pursue careers in interpreting, translation, education, and health both in Australia and overseas. Stage 1 and Stage 2 German at beginners level is available to students who have not studied German before.
