To learn or not to learn German is personal choice and here I  can say nothing.
Only want to say that if you would like to learn German, it will be very easy by
using "Voice of Germany". It have many programs for learning this language for
free. What I like the most is the presence of one program where you listen
German text that is read in very slow pace. In the same time you can read the
same text and recognize right pronunciation. This text (around 10 minutes of
listening) come each day between Monday and Friday. Mainly international news.

Number of computer and chess related material in German is impressive.

Cheers,
Leonid.
