German Now Most Sought-After Language By Employers In UK

According to this article, jobseeking candidates in England who speak German may have a linguistic advantage.

It seems logical to me that after the Brexit, more EU workers will move to Germany.

Learning German makes sense.

In that case, I'll have my lawyers drawn up adoption papers for your signature. I expect private tutoring from your charming wife, my own bedroom with all the trimmings, unrestricted access to your collection of vintage language-learning materials and oh, yes, and my own set of keys to the car, too! ;)

Speakeasy, I will happily adopt you if you want to learn Spanish. :lol:

The adoption papers will agree to the following:

you will tutor French to your adoptive siblings. English pronunciation and English writing lessons to me, your adoptive father. Helping your adoptive mother a few hours a day with the housekeeping, taking the dogs for a walk twice a day. Weekly car washing will be a plus, sorry, no car keys. You can use Uber to get around.

No traveling to Canada during the summertime, you can cool off in the pool, which will need cleaning weekly too.

You will have two hours daily of internet time for your language learner forum reviews.

You will be fluent in Spanish in no time!
