German - A language in demand and important worldwide
German is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and one of the most important languages of commerce throughout Europe. Within the EU, most people speak German as a native language.
Especially in Switzerland, the German language is of immense importance. It is widely spoken in Switzerland, is one of the national languages and plays a large part in the Swiss education system. German language skills and recognised German certificates are also required for naturalisation in Switzerland and are very important for cultural integration. German is a component of numerous entrance examinations for Swiss schools and one of the most important subjects taught. A flawless and fluent command of German is a basic requirement for practically all employers in Switzerland and also greatly increases international career opportunities. In Switzerland, application letters and formal telephone calls in particular are usually written and conducted in High German.
It is not only helpful from a career point of view, but also culturally to have a good and confident knowledge of German. German is the main language spoken on Swiss television, radio and in cultural institutions, as well as at events. The German language therefore also helps to find access to Swiss society and culture, to stay informed about current topics and to be able to join in the conversation.
