Yes.
I have to add that many Germans learn English as a second language. There are many out there fluent in English and German, so you’ll have to be fairly addept at it. Electronics can do a rough translation, so people hire bilingual for stuff that’s important.

But then, how many Germans are truly fluent in English, meaning fluent as a native speaker? There’s a difference between true fluency and just knowing the language well.
I could translate from German to English, with the aid of a dicitonary, but I could not go the other way. My German’s just not that good, though I studied it for years and spent a year living over there.
