Is it natural to learn the language of the country where I choose to study abroad in Germany for a Master's?
Yes, it is natural and highly beneficial to learn the local language when studying abroad, even if your program is taught in English.
For example, many master's programs in Germany (like Information Technology) are offered in English, so German language skills are not required for admission. However, learning some German can make daily life easier, help you connect with the local culture, and improve your chances for part-time jobs.
While immersion helps, becoming fluent usually requires active effort beyond just living in the country.
