Good thing.

I sometimes got the feeling, that the german language culture is a blessing and a curse.

I like how everything gets translated and dubbed for us.

But it feels like most Germans simply ignore most of the stuff, happening outside of Germany.

I even know many IT people who claim they don't need to know english. But I got the feeling that not knowing how to read and write english just keeps you far away from the bleeding edge. You can see this when looking at german companies, most of them feel like 1999.
