Almost ten percent of Germans read newspapers and/ or magazines in English in 2019. The data is based on a survey conducted in the country among members of the population aged 14 years and older. English was the most popular choice in 2019, followed by an equal share of readers for French and Turkish.
Do you read foreign-language newspapers and/or magazines and if so, in which language?
