It Is Rare that I Find Myself Agreeing with Practically Every Coservative German Politician, But in This Case...

Yesterday, Turkish prime minister Recep Erdogan ingeniously proposed that Germany introduce Turkish-language schools and universities. According to his impeccable reasoning, this would improve people of Turkish descent's command of German.

Er, no. Speaking, reading and writing a language is what improves your abilities at speaking, reading and writing it.

The last things Turks in this country need is having their German language abilities decreased further and being segregated further.
