Do you know German language is related to most of North Indian languages? Because it happens to be a branch of the Indo-Germanic family of languages.
Around 120 million people speak German as their mother toungue. There are presently some 17 million people worldwide learning German as a foreign
language in schools and at institutions. After English German comes second in terms of foreign languages in Europe.

German is a rather difficult Language to learn — this is a common belief. How much of it is true? Let us start learning the very basics of this language. Under
these limited conditions we would not be able to teach you much grammer and the proper structure of the language. We hope those who will be going to
Germany without learning German and also those who are keen to have a first acquaintance with the language find these lessons somehow useful.
