While it is true that most younger Germans speak fairly good English I can not recommend enough to learn the language.

Once you venture outside work and start to socialize you will eventually want to speak German as it is much more fun to be able to understand everything.

Further German actually have roughly 35% more words than English. Because of this and the way it is grammatically structured a lot of fine detail is often lost in translation as the words simply do not exist in English.
