https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05 What do you know about German, as a language or Germany as a country or its history and or culture. Tell us all about it here... GERMAN 11 01 2nd Sem en-us 2023-01-14 13:05:17 UTC 2026-03-17 07:31:53 UTC hello@padlet.com pcobarrubias https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2444320155 I started learning German back in 1998 and  haven't regretted it one day since.  I am currently learning French and wish 
I would have learned more languages earlier on in my life. It opens so many career opportunities and one learns so much more than just the language. You also get an insight into the society and culture of the language you are learning! ]]> 2023-01-14 13:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2444320155 https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2445162259 ...to be honest, I'm not really sure! I spent some time trying to think of something I know about Germany but I genuinely am not familiar with the country at all. If there's one thing I heard of, its their Oktoberfest tradition where they tend to drink beer (something I'm only familiar with since I hear it occasionally in the Philippines).

I have a friend who goes around the globe and I remember she said that If I were to go to Germany I should try their bread (This made me crave for some bread right now).

Otherwise, I am also familiar with their talented football team and their delicious sausages! In addition, some of their pieces in architecture are quite fascinating, such as the Berlin Cathedral.

Germany is known for their innovative automotive products and often considered as the "Car Center of the World." This country is the home to the well-known luxury car brands such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. Considering a lot of inventions that came from the country, I think this speaks a lot on how well-regarded innovation and education are in their culture. This is probably one of the reasons why they are always mentioned when people are talking about countries that can offer opportunities for graduate studies and career growth.

But I do know a good number of things regarding its history and politics, from its dark and painful past under the rule of the Führer Adolf Hitler to its constant and stabling role in global governance under the indomitable Angela Merkel. I also know that an annual gathering of international security stakeholders, called the Munich Security Conference, is held in Germany, which I desire to be part of in the distant future. Although my love for politics and history are what I often prioritize and satisfy, I hope to learn more about Germany beyond these aspects and look back at this post in five months carrying more knowledge on this interesting language and nation.

I think the only exposure I have to the German language is this song I like called 99 luftballons. All I know about Germany would come from what I learned from world history, which is heavily skewed towards the world war periods, which does not tell me much about present Germany.

When it comes to products, I've heard that the country is best known for their good beer, cars, bread, and sausages. I really want to try currywurst some day! I also know that Haribo was created in Germany, for which I have to thank them. I'm a big fan of the Haribo sour smurfs haha.

Besides this, from history, I am familiar that it was the perpetrator of the world wars, but it also produced some of the world's most brilliant minds that have ever existed such as Albert Einstein and Johannes Kepler (whom I have both heard of in high school). If I also remember correctly from our history class, Rizal was a big fan of the Germans and was truly amazed by them when he visited the country (even his best friend was from there!!), so I can't wait to see why Rizal sung high praises for Deutschland. :D

The first thing I think of when Germany is brought up are the world wars and Adolf Hitler. I dont really have much exposure to the language or the country and its people, but I'm really curious to learn more!

Regardless, my curiosity is piqued about the language, the country, and the culture. Because of my interest for cars and football, I have been exposed to German culture a lot. I know that Germany produces great cars, football players, and beer! Hence, I want to learn German so that a background in the language is created in me, and that I will have a less harder time if/when I go to Europe.

Besides from the big names along with their history and politics. I think that I am most knowledgeable about their food since that is how I usually begin to learn more about a country's culture.

As of today, my friend has a 62-day streak of German language lessons on Duolingo. It may not be the best way to learn (I‘ve seen some posts saying the app is actually useless or even incorrect), but they are always excitedly telling me about new things they‘ve noticed about the language. For example, they told me about how when something is fun, a direct translation of the German way of saying it is fun would be that it creates fun.

I really don‘t know how correct their understandings are but that‘s one reason I‘m in this class: I want to learn about the intricacies of the language so that I can also learn with my friend and maybe even aid in their learning!]]> 2023-01-19 09:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2449564688 jasminesotto https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2449766689 German is a language that I have always been interested in learning because of how it sounds, but I was also intimidated by it for the same reason. I do know a bit about Germany's history and culture, specifically about the events during the Holocaust. I look up to Germany for their culture of remembrance and how they ensure that the victims of this tragic part of their history are never forgotten.

The first thing that pops up in my head when I hear the word German is beer and sausages. However, I am eager to learn German culture especially its language.

Moreover, one recognizable characteristic of the language for me is that it uses more of the throat when speaking. As my other classmates have said, I also associate Germans as people who love drinking beer. ]]> 2023-01-19 14:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2449869603 https://padlet.com/pcobarrubias/5wif59csnriwty05/wish/2449992208 What I know about the german language is that it is like an intimidating language but personally i find it really good to hear especially in the german movies that usually come my way in Netflix. This sparked my interest to learn a european language, mainly french or German. I look foraward to learning more about the culture  as well as the language and traditions.

I’ve met some Germans before and they seem like the friendliest people ever despite their language sounding kind of angry? I’ve heard that German is not very far from how the English language also works.

What little I know about Germany or the German language is straight from the textbook.  I do know they have good food and a beautiful country.  The German culture is also known to value time and efficiency.  They also seem to be technologically advanced compared to other first-world countries in terms of medical science and health.  Their public transport system is very efficient and accurate in terms of scheduling.
