Having graduated from high school at Patch American High School in Stuttgart, Germany, and obtaining a minor in German at William & Mary, I have a strong affinity with all things German (and it does not hurt that my last name is Geiger).  Understandably, there is a great degree of pressure to “internationalize” your business and expand trading options.  As such, learning the language of your trading partners is a valuable exercise to obtain cultural fluency.  In a world in which China is heralded for 10% growth rate for three straight decades and there is a greater diversification of the U.S. population with the increase in the Hispanic population, I found it charming (and not pejoratively) to learn of Germany’s efforts to increase fluency in its tounge among non-native speakers.  The site, operated by Deutsche Welle, offers a wealth on information on learning the langauge.  As for a tie to my law practice, there is none other than that I appreciate well efforts to educate and expand opportunities.

Viel Spaß!
