German Professions

by Josh, Tyler, Keegan, Ben, Logan, Becky, Kane, and Scotty

Guten Tag! Welcome to the German professions website. The reasons why learning German is important is if you work for a corporation (or business) and some workers speak German, you can talk to them. If you are president of the corporation, you will have to talk to the people high up in Germany. If your relatives are German and they work at a big place, you can ask for them to come down and talk.
