So - learn German and move to Frankfurt.


You don't need to speak German to work in many of the banks here.


But it would help for going shopping after work...


Generally, you don't have to know the local language to buy
something, gestures of yes and no, indicating numbers by figures or
the amount of money would be enough.

And especially in a supermarket you don't talk to the shelves but
take what you want.

And speaking some other language than German might be an advantage
when the sales personnel originates from a country whose language you
master.


Cheers,
