German is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide. It was the language of the first printed book as well as the language of such famous people as Mozart, Beethoven, Freud and Einstein. A recent language study published by the Economist shows that speaking German can result in higher lifetime earnings due to a shorter supply of proficient German speakers.
