German isn't difficult to learn. Anyone who got a C or better at GCSE could probably handle the language barrier in an exam.
I don't think the current German actuarial system does German actuaries any favours either as they may be percieved as a bit of a joke by their international colleagues. Which would be a shame as I expect that many German actuaries are just as good as their international equivalents (although may be there are some who aren't - due to easier exams not eliminating the average from the above-average).
Was that too much?
