21. German is a Great Language to learn for many reasons: - Many words are very close to English (Wind, Haus, Apfel, Wurm) because they are related languages. - The way that words are combined to make new ones is also fascinating: Krankenhaus = sick-house (hospital), Krankenwagen = sick-waggon (ambulance), Krankenschwester = sick-sister (nurse) - The sounds of German are beautiful! Compare the pronounciation of ‘ Nirvana’, or ‘Marmelade’!
