Information on how german is doing and how many speakers speak it

At this moment there are about 120,000,000 native german speakers and 80,000,000 non-native speakers! So german is doing VERY well. Plus it is the third most spoken language in the world. So I do not think that it is going to be extinct in a quite a long time. Well at least I hope it doesn't.

A few grammar rules

In german it is basically like english except you do not put an "s" at the end of a plural word. You also have four new letters: ö, ä, ü, and ß and the rest is like english like the capitalized letter in the beginning of a sentence or in a special name and etc.

Basic phrases in german

I will give you five basic phrases in german:

hallo wie geht es dir heute? = hello how are you today?

Wie ist Ihr Name? = what is your name?

Wie geht es Ihnen heute? = how are you today?

Wer sind Sie? = who are you?

wo die Toiletten sind? = where are the toilets?

Unique sounds in your language

German has as many as three cool sounds. The first one is ö which is pronounced in english oe. The second one is ä which is pronounced ae in english. The last one is ü it is pronounced ue in english.

Interesting grammar snippets

German has a few grammar snippets. In some plural words there is an "s" at the end of it. Another interesting grammar snippet is this thing that looks like this ß. Instead of writing ss you write the letter. Those are all the INTERESTING grammar snippets in german.

How to encourage someone to learn your language

Do you know how to encourage someone to learn your language? Well, if you don't then I will tell you. To encourage someone to learn german then you have to find a lot of reasons. Then you can also reason him/her. You can also teach him/her cool sounds that the language makes. Those are the basic ways to persuade someone to speak the language.

What countries is it they spoken in?

Germany, Austria ,Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are the main german speaking countries. Otherwise there are other countries that has some speakers but there are literally hundreds of them so I cannot list them.

German history

The Germans were actually once ruled by Julius Caesar. The first king of Germany was called Henry the Fowler. He was dedicated as king in 919 AD. In 962, Henry's son Otto I became emperor of the Holy Roman empire otherwise know as the german medieval state. In the High Middle Ages, the dukes and princes of the empire got more power at the expense of the emperors, who were elected by the princes and crowned by the pope. The northern states became Protestant in the early 16th century, while the southern states remained Catholic. Protestants and Catholics clashed in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), which left large areas deserted. As you probably know the 2 world war was committed by Adolf Hitler which was 1939 to 1945.

The origins of German

The origins of German were the English language and Dutch. It is actually the third most spoken language in the world! Chinese is first, English is second, and German is third. Right now, there are approximately 120 million native speakers and about 80 million non-native speakers!
