Grammar
An important rule in German is that when you have a sentence with 'weil' (because), then the verb in the supporting sentence ALWAYS goes to the end.
Now, let's answer why do people really learn German? Man lernt Deutsch,...
- ... weil man in Ausland studieren kann (because one can study abroad).
- ... weil man in Ausland arbeiten kann (because one can work abroad).
- ... weil man bei einer deutschen Firma eine Stelle finden kann (because one can find a job).
- ... weil man ohne Sprachprobleme ins Ausland reisen kann (because one can travel abroad without any language problems).
- ... weil man in Deutschland Konzerte besuchen kann (because one can go to concerts in Germany, Ramstein??? ).
- ... weil man Goethe in original lesen will (because one wants to read Goethe in original).
- ... weil man Lieder verstehen kann (becuase one wants to understand songs).
- ... weil man in den Alpen leben möchte (because one wants to live in the Alps).
- ... weil man Deutsche kennen lernen will (becuase one wants to get to know Germans).
