    I don't think Germany is interesting for Chinese now.
    It can attract welfare bandits from world sh-tholes and Islamic fundamentalists of any kind.
    No skilled workers go to Germany, because it gonna be currently a communist failed state.
    Also, Germany of future will talk Turkish, Arabic, all dialects of all African languages, but no more.
    European peoples will leave Germany in droves because it will have nothing to offer them, except of course 'The Truth of Islam' and 'Training in Shariah law'

    My wife's first language is Spanish....
    her second language is German....
    English is her third language.....
    I truly like the sound of all the various accents of Europe.....
    I can't think of even one that I do not like.......

    There is truth in what you say! A very good friend of mine in Germany tells me that all the better doctors and medical 'technical people' are leaving Germany and going to Canada and the United States. The doctors who replace them are not bad, honestly... and they come from the Middle East or Eastern Europe, evidently. Of those, the ones from Pakistan and Iran are evidently the best, from what he tells me.

    Why?

    Are you opposed to any language other than your own?

    National anthems? Perhaps the most beautiful one I've ever heard is that of an old adversary, the Soviet Union. It has remained the national anthem of today's Russian Federation.... Here is a very lovely YouTube video you may enjoy:

    I know less than a dozen words in the Russian language, but listening to their national anthem always brings tears to my eyes....

    It is a much better one than the Danish, but just a little bit overplayed. Russian is also preferable to Danish.

    Russian is not in this list.

    So will create a new poll where Russian is on topic.
