Germany/Austria/German Switzerland

>Most native speakers in Europe
>Best cities to live in Europe
>Best infrastructure
>German areas perform better than any romance areas in Europe: see French Switzerland is worst part
>Low crime rates
>Refugees but unlike France Germany is still far less Islamified
>Languages like French are also predominant in places like Africa. Who wants that? If you know German its useful only in nice places

TLDR if you are learning a language like Spanish or French drop it for German so you aren't doomed to only being able to use it in the third world or the shit parts of Europe

When you think of Chinese and Indian brands, you think of fawlty, often toxic, unrealiable, dangerous and generally shitty low-quality stuff produced by slave workers under XIX century factory labour conditions that we buy because cheap and because we have cucked ourselves into letting them in our markets in exchange for... well, large global corporations accesing their and their working slaves, and they (more or less) abiding by the international trade standards and agreements. There's probably a geopolitical side to this too.

When you think of canadian brands you think of [404, not found].

German people being perfect at English is a meme, they are on the upper-end of the spectrum but it isn't Scandinavian tier. Germans still like doing business in their own language and its necessary to have someone on both sides who can understand both.

Why the fuck does Latin America make Spanish / Port important especially to a European, people in Europe have no ties or close relations with these countries. Regardless of the fact that the whole region is fucked and 3rd world

The poorest ones actually are all German. Uri, Schwyz, Appenzell. And Wallis is both French and German. But the richest regions are also German.
But I mean... it's Switzerland.
Even if the Italian part is the worst one overall, it's still better than the vast majority of Europe and the rest of the world, so who cares.

I'm inclined to agree.
The languages that are most in demand among Norwegian employers after English and Norwegian are German and Polish. So those are the languages to learn...

Unless you want to become an astronaut, in which case you should absolutely go for Russian.
What's it like in Eastern Europe, by the way?
Can you get by with English in most places, or would it be better to know Russian?

Mr work in London so certified expert on everything business.

This is nothing to do with "interpreters" lol, I consider myself to have a good idea of English speaking level because my mums family is German.

I also worked in getting documents and passport stuff out to European staff for about a year mainly in Germany and almost all of them would have a decent professional level in the language which was either why they go there for simply because it makes things run easier. Also tonnes of German companies are not large city-multinationals and this is even more important.
>>
If you're actually learning any language other than English or maybe Chinese for "business" or that kind of stuff you're an idiot. All important people already speak English.

Now the only reasons you got to learn another language are culture and how beautiful the language is in general. Who the fuck would want to learn German then?
Everyone in this thread has serious autism
>>
>>58389048
Learning Chinese for business is the most idiotic and least business savvy decision you can make simply because of how long it would take, how difficult it is to learn a language that hard with only business as a motivation and because of many changs there are with incredible English ability.

Learning a language is nice if you want to travel and live in these countries and the German speaking part of Europe is objectively better than any other major language region.

Germany has a higher poverty rate than France. It also has fewer unemployment benefits and worse healthcare.
And that's just some of the measurable stuff I can pick, there's also more subjective things like
food, weather, and people.

If you think you can actually, reliably "rank" countries from best to worst you're an idiot.

Sure France isn't 3rd world yet though there isn't a single city left in France that is 90% native French or close to that, there is a reason you have some of the highest crime-rates in WEurope.

Poverty is set by country Germany's is actually set to a easier level to be classed in than Frances otherwise Germany would have lower. That is of course obvious if you consider that Germany has a lower cost of living, almost half the unemployment and a higher average wage. And a better purchasing power, better iHDI/HDI etc.
