The German language is spoken in many Western and Central European countries and has quickly replaced Russian as the common language of international communication in Eastern Europe. A substantial number of the world’s printed works are in the German language, and German is in second place in the field of scientific publications. Knowledge of German is essential in various academic disciplines such as Literature, History, Music, Philosophy, and Science.
