 As one of the major languages in Europe, German can come in handy. It can be useful on a holiday in Germany or Switzerland, and can help one's chances when applying for a job with a company that does business in Germany. Some people are interested in learning German because they're interested in learning the language that their ancestors may have spoken. Sometimes it's hard to find a German class nearby, and even if there is one, the schedule might not work out. Other times, the German classes aren't offered above the beginner's level. There are, however, a wide variety of self-teaching materials, including software, CDs, and books with which one can learn German, and at a cost that's normally cheaper than a language school would charge. The learning materials are also available for students of all levels. Here is a listing of learning materials which are hard to find outside of Germany:
