Heyy I can't decide where to live…what do you think?…I'm fluent in both languages.
Hello, My friend found an Indian lizard in a shipping container at work. She's probably in shock… Now we don't know what kind of lizard it is or whether it is poisonous or anything else. If we report it to the veterinary office, we are afraid that she will be killed. What should we do?…
I recently changed my location to Asia on a dating app. First I went through China, etc., the corresponding ethnic groups that look similar to the Chinese, and then I tried India. What really struck me was the number of likes I received from women. In China there were a lot, and in India it…
Many Germans (myself included) feel a strong connection to Japanese culture through anime and sushi, and there are many who would like to travel to Japan. Japan is an introverted nation, just like the Germans; both have a large auto industry, both are known for their good character traits, and Germany also cooperated with Japan…
The Israeli association, however, is not. Both are in Asia. That would be as if Germany had to play in Asia and all of Germany's neighbouring countries would play at UEFA However, only the State of Palestine is a member of the Asian Football Confederation, the Israeli association is not

Very much. On the one hand there are 22 (!) official languages (plus numerous dialects) in India. That means someone from Madras can’t even understand another one from Agra. Unless they speak English to each other.
It is also important for many industries in India to speak English. Tourism and the IT industry, for example.
I know many Indians who have been living in Germany for some years, some of whom have studied here and much rather speak English as German. Even among themselves they usually speak in English. As an Indian told me, they understand each other better in English than with one of the Indian dialects.
However, many of my Indian colleagues have used the study and work in Germany as a springboard to America, since it is understandable that they do not want to learn the English language.
That could be a catch question. Probably you should find out in the search that there is no “Indian”. India is a multi-ethnic state with a variety of languages. English is more a language of communication between peoples. The Constitution lists 22 languages as official language.
This is one thing that is widely unknown in Germany up to management levels.
Small Anecdote: In the company, Asia meeting in Singapore. An Indian colleague does not understand a lecture on content. The German forerunner, who speaks English, asks another Indian to explain it to his fellow countryman. This is also beginning in English. The boss asks: In Indian please, so he understands it easier. It took a long time until the boss understood that both languages speak.
The usual lie of lazy pupils:
I can’t find anything on the Internet…
The fact that there are a number of other local languages in India in addition to the official languages of Hindi and English is Google.
But you don’t know what Google is.
It is not about other languages, but what people in India think about it is spoken so much English and that English has developed into an official language
