Frankfurt: Goethe's birthplace
Frankfurt am Main is the fifth largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany with around 730,000 inhabitants. Internationality and multilingualism are part of everyday life in the business metropolis, as Frankfurt Airport connects the city with the whole world via direct flights. Frankfurt is the only German city to offer a skyline full of skyscrapers. Germany's most important banks are based here, and the European Central Bank has its headquarters in Frankfurt, as well. Since the Middle Ages, Frankfurt has been a hub of long-distance trade for central Europe. For centuries, the German king, and later the emperor, was selected in Frankfurt. For this purpose, the electors gathered for the process in the imperial cathedral St. Bartholomew. After the election the new king or emperor was brought in a procession to the Römer, the city hall of Frankfurt to this day. The first all-German parliament met in the Paulskirche in 1848.

I used to find learning German really difficult and I tried lots of different things. But on the language course at the Goethe-Institut, I suddenly started making rapid progress.
