Every foreign language student should consider to study overseas, the German language student is no exception to that rule.
Studying in a German speaking country will be the experience of a life time. Not only will you be able to immerse yourself fully in the linguistic environment of your target language, but you will also be able to gain invaluable insights into the everyday life of ordinary and extraordinary citizens of German-speaking countries.
If you want to give your linguistic and cultural competence a boost, study abroad. Even the best classroom environment can not come close to your first-hand experience in Germany.
