ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fremdsprachen und Hochschule

Okay, so you know how we speak English, right? Well, there are lots of other languages that people speak in different places around the world. These are called "foreign languages."

Now, when people go to college, or "Hochschule" in some countries, they often have to learn one or more foreign languages. This is because it can be really helpful to know a different language when you're studying and working in today's global world.

Learning a new language can be hard work, but it can also be a lot of fun! You get to learn all sorts of new words and phrases, and you can even talk to people from other countries in their own language. Plus, knowing a foreign language can help you get better jobs and do business with companies in other countries.

So, if you go to college, you might get the chance to learn a foreign language. And who knows? Maybe someday you'll get to use that language to travel, make new friends, or even get a really cool job!
