Cost of Language Training in Germany

I had this German language instructor lay out this brief 'fact' on what costs are.....in relation to immigration into Germany.

So, when you have an individual with Middle Eastern language ability only (no western script writing or knowledge)....they have to go through a prep training episode which takes a couple of months.  Then comes the intensive two block...seven-month long...training seminar system.  This amounts to roughly 7,000 Euro per person.

If you from the EU or a western civilization.....you skip all the prep training and the seminar deal would amount to around 3,500 Euro (more or less, figure 4,250 in US dollars).

Added to the frustration here is the fact that a fair number of folks from various countries.....have a marginal basic education to start with (meaning a 6th-grade to 8th-grade start-up point). 

How many Germans are aware of the cost impact?  No one can say for sure but I doubt if you can find more than a couple of thousand Germans that are within the system and recognize the cost features.

Return value?  Well....if you put 10,000 people through the course, and a year into the graduated-period, they get frustrated with the job potential and return home.....then the Germans got nothing much in return for the expenditure of money.  And remember, this only covers training, not medical care, housing, or basic subsistence.
