If you speak the language fluently you'll be treated like a local so definitely worth learning. Once the fluency is there people don't see the "foreigner" anymore. You don't necessarily have to write it, thouigh once you can speak it you should be able write pretty well as well. If you already speak German it's pretty easy to get fluent.I'm alright JackComment
