This drives me mad. German is spoken by more than 100 millions in Europe, but I can only see threads about French, Italian, Spanish and even Portuguese and other inferior languages. German deserves to be more popular on Antimoon but I think there is a kind of conspiracy made by the moderators or somebody against German. Wha'ts going on here?
Why German is not popular here?
«Wha'ts going on here?»
I don't know.
How specifically are you going to make German on Antimoon as popular as it deserves according to you? And based on what will you know that it will have gotten the popularity that it diserves according to you?

German is widely known and studied among Europeans but doesn't really have a presence beyond these shores. French and Spanish are spoken natively in other continents but German isn't.
The language also suffered an image problem after the war, no doubt about that.

Most of the time, Brazilians think of speaking Spanish. Actually I have never heard a Brazilian speak Spanish properly. They often speak a sort of Portunol, because they mix the vocabulary and syntax

German is slipping in east and central Europe as a lingua franca. When I went to places like Poland and Hungary in the mid-90s, German was by far the most useful language for getting around if you didn't know the native tongue. But a lot of ground has been lost to English over the last 10 years.
Instead of whining, how about starting some German threads and see how popular they are?
From time there are German threads here, but they get are deleted very quickly, because the site owner and his moderators have some kind of hate against German.
If you have questions about the German language I would recommend:

These are forums without German-hating moderators and anti-German censorship.

Not to mention the Austro-Hungarian Empire where German was widely used in all those countries.
I'm from Zagreb and my grandpa speaks German better than some Germans. His vocabulary, syntax and grammar is perfect.
I've been learning it, but I always prefer other languages over German, and now, I regret it. I should start learning and reading some books in German because this language is really a diamond among all other European languages.

maybe because germans people prefer to speak english or in others language, when you go in Germany, they always speak english with you, it's weird.
I think Germans would always prefer to speak in German, although many younger Germans speak good English and that is probably the most practical way of communicating with foreigners.
There are still large areas of the former East Germany where English is not widely known and you will definitely struggle here if you don't know some basic German.

Germans are the most hard-working Europeans, they just are at work while we're trolling on some insignificant forum.
You are wrong, everybody knows that Spaniards and Italians are the most hard-working Europeans.
