Lan­guage is more than a means of communication.

Ger­man as the com­mon lan­guage is key for all peo­ple living in Ger­many to take part in society. It is indis­pensable to ensure com­mu­ni­ca­tion on an equal play­ing field. But lan­guage is more than a means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. It also is a cul­tu­ral asset reflec­ted in poetry and lite­ra­ture that enables peo­ple to access the cul­ture and society of a coun­try. Tea­ching lan­guage and pro­mo­ting lan­guage acqui­si­tion is one of the core respon­si­bi­li­ties of the edu­ca­tion sys­tem, which is assis­ted by the lan­guage-lear­ning cul­ture in society and the public domain.

At the same time, mul­ti­l­in­gua­lism is some­thing to be truly tre­asu­red. Peo­ple who can com­mu­ni­cate and express them­sel­ves in dif­fe­rent lan­guages can build bridges and enable access. The mas­tery of seve­ral lan­guages is proof of cul­tu­ral wealth, requi­res app­re­cia­tion and must be encou­ra­ged to a grea­ter ext­ent. This also applies to the mino­rity and regio­nal lan­guages reco­g­nised in Ger­many. Espe­ci­ally with a view to glo­ba­li­sa­tion, which also means that peo­ple from Ger­many live tem­po­r­a­rily abroad or peo­ple from abroad who stay in Ger­many for a while, mul­ti­l­in­gua­lism is a great asset. At the same time, the non-ver­bal forms of expres­sion, which have a rule book of their own as is the case in sport, music, dance, etc., must not be igno­red either.
