it's the same way here. back when i was in high school, they talked of getting rid of german after columbine because omg everyone who wants to take german must be a nazi sympathizer! whatever i've yet to encounter anyone who actually knows any german, i'm including all my former classmates here. in high school, i think i was the only one who took it because i liked it (i must've you only needed two years but i took all three) and in college, i didn't talk to anyone so i wouldn't know!Zootlesque said:It's so hard to practice with other people here in the states. Not many germans around.... at least that's the case here in New Brunswick.
My favorite word is probably Zeitungen or Zigaretten. There's something about the letter Z. Or wait.... sussigkeiten, that's it!
Oh... und auch:
Ich mag der Songtexte 'Bleiben'. Don't beat me up if I made any mistake.
ahh, die zeitung, something i don't read enough. i don't like zigaretten in any language though
haha bleiben...i love that word!
