Just Add German.

We know that learning any foreign language brings amazing benefits, so why should you pick German? We think German is a great choice if you’re interested in any (or all!) of the following:

  • boosting your college and career options
  • learning about German history and culture
  • standing out from your peers
  • making new connections, and having fun in class

Just Add German is a campaign of the Goethe-Institut. Its goal is to show how German as a foreign language is beneficial to students, families, careers, as well as a great way to open doors to new opportunities.
