A well-known conservative german politician has recently stated that in germany too many people now use english in everyday life, and germans should be vigilant in this regard。
Bbc reported on 14th that i was upset that the deputy minister of finance of germany, jens spam, told a local newspaper that “a number of hotel attendants in berlin speak english only”
Span believes that “coexistence” can work only if all people speak german in germany. He therefore asked all immigrants to learn the language。
Span also believed that the germans were too attached to the matter, “it would never have happened in paris”。
It has been reported that a large number of immigrants from the americas live in the met and prenzlauburg districts of berlin, the german capital, and run restaurants and bars and recruit employees from across europe, making english widely used in the region. In addition, english speaking is recognized as an important skill in germany, with most beginning to learn english as soon as they enter primary school。
In germany, the use of german is increasingly becoming a political issue. The german government has explicitly required asylum-seekers to learn german, otherwise they would not be entitled to benefits and permanent residence. However, this measure does not apply to citizens of eu countries。
Last week, three germans wrote to chancellor merkel and european union officials demanding less english and more german. They wrote: “in order for german to be used equally as the working language of the european union and to promote its use in international bodies, we should fully use it in our own countries.”
According to deutsche presse, however, spange is an important member of a right-wing wing of the gnu, where german chancellor angela merkel is located. This statement was refuted by the tourism sector in berlin。
The official "visit berlin" spokesman, christian ttenzler, said, "we are just an increasingly international city."
