German is a phonetic language like several Indian languages. The Indian tongue is used to learning and speaking other languages, so why worry? We are born to be bi-/trilingual so Indians can handle a new language, and even excel in it.

English is an option too

Germany has made more it possible for more than 43,000 students to study there. Why? There are courses in the English language, making it easier for international students.

Say hello on German

Hello

 Going to a new country and won't experience their culture, or connect with the locals? Well, knowing the language makes it easier.

Experience it!

Live it!

What would be the use of visiting a new country and returning without any cultural exposure? Live it! Experience it!

Thinking of employment and internships? Learning the language will of course give you brownie points.

Thank you

Visa?

For literature enthusiasts, to understand local writings, why not learn the language and widen your horizons?

From the point of visa requirement, Germans would also want to know if you are capable of coming to the country and adapting to the culture. Well, it wouldn't also harm you making new friends there right, and help increase your social circle.
