People become interested in learning another language for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it is because they have booked a holiday abroad while others might need to learn a language for work purposes. Some people attend language schools (Sprachschulen) www.alemania.ch to help them create international websites such as German websites. Whatever the reason for learning a second language it will certainly help them with communication and conversation when travelling abroad. After taking a course which usually lasts twelve months students will know a few simple words and sentences. Students studying German who want to continue for a further year might be asked to take a placement test in German (Einstufungstest Deutsch). If they succeed to gain a place this will give them a platform towards gaining the qualifications needed to create German websites. Some students might study a language for three years or more and become so fluent they can speak it second tongue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_language.

Many countries teach English as a second language. In England it is not compulsory to learn a second language at school but often people want to learn later in life.
