Three months after meeting German chancellor Angela Merkel in training
camp, King Arthur Abraham was a featured guest at the famous Federal
Chancellery in Berlin.
The immensely popular 30-year-old is one of the testimonials for the
far-reaching integration campaign, which was presented at Germany's
White House in front of high-ranking members of the national and
international press. Stressing the importance of German language
skills, the campaign aims to encourage young foreigners to properly
learn German as part of a successful integration into society,

"I know from my own experience how important it is to speak the
language of the country you live in," King Arthur said at the
press conference, which was hosted by Professor Dr. Maria Bohmer,
the government's integration expert. "I came from Armenia to Germany
when I was 15 years old and I immediately started to learn German. The
communication with the people around you is crucial for a successful
integration, for a successful and happy life. That is why I am proud
to support this campaign."
Abraham joined forces with celebrities from sports, entertainment and
politics - such as German football international Jerome Boateng, rapper
Sido and rhythmic gymnastics star Magdalena Brzeska - to be featured
in advertising and poster campaigns. The portraits show the stars with
their tongues colored in black-red-gold, the German national colors.
The catchy German slogan "Raus mit der Sprache. Rein ins Leben." is
roughly translates as "Speak up. Join life."
"The idea is to encourage as many young foreign people living in
Germany as possible to learn the language so that they can interact
with others and be successfully integrated into society. I am thrilled
to be a part of this campaign and I hope that many people will follow
our example and learn to speak German," Abraham said.
