Sažetak

Talking about the importance of foreign languages knowledge, whether as a common foreign language or a language for specific purposes, today in the age of globalisation, mobility and world without boundaries, should not be questionable. How many languages you speak, is what you are worth, according to an old saying. Does that still apply? The figures show that the interest of the students of the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences to learn German, as the language for specific purposes, has been decreasing. Despite the fact that it was offered, in addition to English language, as an elective, now you can learn it only in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics. The conventional belief is that the knowledge of German is important in technical sciences, because of the professional literature and a large number of companies operating in the Geran speaking area. Germany is also one of the favourite destinations of students in the Erasmus program. We wanted to find out why, despite all this, our students still prefer English. That is why we interviewed students of the 1st year in the Electrical Engineering Department, about their experiences, attitudes and opininons about the German language.
