German is the official language of the country. Numerous dialects are used regionally, but any German can communicate with others in high German. Schools in Germany teach foreign languages and English is the most common of these, but French and Italian are also quite popular, since the Germans love to travel and these are popular destinations (especially Italy). The largest minority in Germany are Turks, who of course speak primarily Turkish, hence there are quite a number of people who also speak this language. The rest are the usual hodge-podge of languages from around the world.

Obviously, the main language spoken here is German.
The largest single group of immigrants here are Turks and so Turkish is also fairly widespread.
English is taught to all kids from the age of fourteen however, don't think for a second that 'most Germans speak English.'
Germany borders France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland. Their respective languages are also fairly common in the border regions.
Regional dialects are also prolific.

The main language is naturally German. Then there are regional dialects of German. Of course you then have the immigrants and foreigners and their respective languages such as Arabic, Greek, Italian, Polish etc. Germans on the whole are fairly well educated in second and third languages. A lot of Germans know some English. It is also not unusual to come across French and Russian.
