I have taken 3 German classes in high school. Having taken these
classes I’ve learnt the basics of the German language. Along the way, we studied
portions of German culture. The first thing we learned was about the regions of
Europe where German is spoken, then Germany itself. The language is rather
interesting, but learning more about the country and its people is very
intriguing. Taking this class I hope to learn more information about Germany.
As I stated in class, I think the advancements, and technological feats of
Germany are very interesting. There is a prevalence of the stereotype of German
engineering being great, but I don’t know much about it. For example the Bagger
288 is the largest machine in the world and it’s used in Germany for strip
mining. Similarly Germany is home an extensive history of firearms. The 9mm cartridge
came out of Germany in the early 1900s and it is the most popular handgun cartridge
today. These sorts of things are very interesting to me, and I hope we touch on
this and other topics this semester. I’m looking forward to the next few
months.
