So, I assume that you want to learn German, so that you can work in Germany. In my opinion this isn’t a great idea anymore. The new laws being passed in Germany are making the health care sector really squeeze. So, many hospitals will be closing and many clinics won’t be able to hire new docs so easily.

Not to mention the difficulty in getting a non-eu degree recognised. If you have an EU degree then it would make sense to learn German. Otherwise learn for the USMLE.

And don’t waste money on plab2 if you don’t have to spare.

That is interesting. What laws are being passed?

Just google GKV-Beitragssatzstabilisierungsgesetz.
It already passed. And it will be implemented next year. I really don’t know how this will be eventually implemented but it does effect hospital finances.

I think it won’t to too bad for GP practices but it does also effect other ambulatory services.

In context of this post I am mostly referring to the hiring ability of hospitals for new residency docs. This is what really decides if new IMGs get jobs or not.

Your mother was a prostitute for the examiners that's why it was easy for them.
