I was really pleased to be invited to a meeting to discuss the benefits of learning German by none other that the Consul General Wolfgang Mössinger at the Scottish parliament last week. We talked about the “case” for German in terms of the educational, economic, cultural, political and academic benefits it brings. Representatives were there from partners in industry, higher and further education and from cultural organisations.
