Das Land der Dichterund Denker’ or ‘the land of poets and thinkers’ is a common nickname people of Germany have given to their country. Indeed, it is true. From Gutenberg's printing press to Hertz' discovery of electromagnetic waves, from Ehrlich's development of chemotherapy to Einstein's theory of relativity, throughout history Germans have proven themselves repeatedly to be great innovators.
If those are not enough, four of the world's ten most innovative companies are located in Germany and at 12.7 percent of the world's patent applications, Germany ranks 3rd in the world. Given that, knowing German language will open up many employment opportunities. But, how can one learn German? A decade ago, people of Patna – the capital city of Bihar – had a similar doubt in their mind, as they have not had somebody who could teach them German in a professional manner. This is where, Archana Rani, then a teacher of Delhi Public School, stepped in and started German Language Centre (GLC), one of the first German language training institutes in the city of Patna.
