There are many flight schools/clubs in Germany. This was a bit of surprise to me. However, to take the advantage of PPL training, you need to know German. Many I spoke to had no problem doing the practical part in English, but the theory part must be--it seems--in German. Perhaps OP reached a similar conclusion.
@goodwilson ... if you've pondered over US and Lativia, you could also consider Spain ..... just a thought.
