Cool kids learn Deutsch!

Feeling pretty pleased with myself for learning German right now… I was just reading that the Steinke institute in Bonn has come up with a fancy-schmancy formula to convert the Gross National Product of a country in 2025 into its power within the world, and therefore the importance of its language. And guess what? German is in the Top 5. Along with English, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish, within a decade or two, speaking Deutsch will make you a business mover-and-shaker.

I tried to work out how old I would be by then, but it started to get too depressing. I’ll stick with conjugating my verbs, thanks!
