Travel Info Do the majority of the population of Germany speak English or German? Travel Tips German, of course. It is their national language. You will find, however (especially in the cities) that many people can also speak King's English and Parisian French. These languages are automatically taught in most European schools while the children are still in 1st to 6th grade. They also pick it up from TV, magazines and music. Others most definately German. I travel there a lot through work. However you'll find that a lot of germans will be bilingual. Around Frankfurt region english is well spoken. If you start moving into Bavaria (southern part of Germany) English is less spoken. Again the North near Bremen or Hamburg is a bit restricted in English. Over by Berlin English is quite well spoken as well I believe. I'd go for German. But, you know most educated German speaks English pretty well, only the gas station coffee shop attendants that can't speak English. Unlike French, they all understand English, but talk back in French! While most adults in Germany speak predominantly in Deutsch..they can understand English. Children in Germany have been taught English in class for last 23 yrs...so many x'ers speak english. Soldaten en Deutschland spruken de deutch ! Actaully it's both. Mainly because they do learn how to speak english in school and also because now there r more ppl going there and tourists. |
