It is made easier for skilled foreign workers to immigrate, but in most cases the requirement is to speak German at least on the language level of B1.

Learn German to challenge yourself, improve your brain development and for your personal growth! Learning and speaking a new language also boosts your confidence! According to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, learning a new language has a positive effect on the growth of brain cells. The study also found that people who learned a second language had improved cognition, including better memory and faster thinking skills. Furthermore, the researchers found that the benefits persisted even after the participants stopped learning the new language. The findings also suggest that learning a second language can help prevent age-related cognitive decline and can even have benefits for our overall intelligence.
With more than 100 million German speakers German is the most spoken language in the European Union! Thus the chances are high that you can apply German even outside of the German speaking countries also because Germans are the second most travelling nation worldwide and can be found everywhere!
If you already speak English it will be easier for you to learn German as both languages are Germanic languages. There are hundreds of so-called cognates which are words which are identical or very similar in English and German. Such as the words finger, hand, glass and many many more!

Isn´t it better to learn in a school?
- That is a matter of personal preference. Learning online as well as in a school has both its benefits. In a school you can learn together with others with a set schedule. An online course on the other hand is more affordable, flexible as you decide when and where to learn at your own pace and there is no commuting to a physical school needed, which safes you time. So it really depends on your personal preference.
