Özet: The study focuses on German language learning as the second foreign language by the future specialists of Tourism sphere at nonlinguistic higher educational establishment in Ukraine. It has been noted that foreign languages have a great meaning in the modern Ukrainian society. The aim of the present study is to examine the level of German knowledge between two groups of students of Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University (Ukraine). Quantitative and qualitative research methods, students’ questionnaire, practical lessons have been applied. Taking into account the data of the questionnaire, we have come to the conclusion that despite the small quantity of academic hours, assigned to second foreign language learning, the future specialists of Tourism sphere showed almost the same result as the students, who started learning German at rural secondary school. To improve the situation it is worth, in our opinion, to increase the quantity of academic hours for the second foreign language study at the nonlinguistic higher educational establishments of Ukraine and enhance the level of teaching German at rural secondary schools.
