2 things I found interesting-- school is significantly more affordable in Germany and work-life balances are way better in Europe than here.
1 question I still have- are other European school systems more like Germany's?]]> 2020-04-17 20:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513661170 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513677005 3- Grammar rules, vocabulary, and how the job market in Germany works.
2- I thought it was interesting to read about higher education in a place where school is much more affordable, and that Germany made that change rather easily with little political issues.
1- Public schools in Germany are free, but what about private schools? Are those similar to a US private school? How does that work?]]> 2020-04-17 20:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513677005 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513760519 3. I learned about the major differences between the German education system and the US one, more vocabulary, more grammar (particularly genitive case)
2. I found the German education system interesting, as well as how most german colleges have free tuition.
1. How much difference is there between the US study abroad programs compared to the German ones (Popularity, place, etc)?]]> 2020-04-17 21:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513760519 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513791875 3.

2. I thought learning about the German education system was interesting and I was surprised to learn about the lack of benefits in Germany since they're built in.
1. Do many Germans go to Universities in the U.S. or are theirs just as popular?]]> 2020-04-17 22:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513791875 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513880441 I. How do people determine so early/young which school path they want to take? It seems awfully difficult for me even a year before college, let alone closer to 10 like they do.

II. I found it interesting A) how all the secondary education is state funded and B) how important/ prevalent internships are in Germany.

III. The main things I learned this unit were grammar(prepositional stuff), how different Germany's school system is than ours, and general vocabulary pertaining to the relevant subject, although Stellungskrieg and Panzerkampfwagen are superior to all.]]> 2020-04-18 00:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513880441 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513887402 3. I learned a lot of new vocabulary that I could have used when I went to school in Germany (Exchange). I also learned about the different options people have after their secondary school in Germany, as well as da/wo words.

2. I found it interesting how college is essentially free in Germany, and how heavily an influence internships, particularly in other countries, can play.

1.Do most people take advantage of the opportunities that are provided (free college, affordable options)?]]> 2020-04-18 01:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/513887402 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/515778999 I learned a lot about grammar and lots of new vocabulary. Along with this, I learned about the differences between the ways that German schools operate  and the way ours do. I thought it was extremely interesting that German schools have many different paths for their students to take, and that their universities are either very affordable or free. How do Germans feel about our schools, seeing as we have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to attend them? ]]> 2020-04-19 18:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/515778999 ps32124 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/517988782 3. I learned a lot new vocabulary and how to correctly use grammar through the activities we did. Along with this I also learned about how different the education is in Germany compared to ours. Like how they have so many options after grundschule.

2. I found it interesting just learning about their school system in general and how different it is from ours. I heard a lot of stories from my german exchange and it was all very interesting. Along with this it was also interesting how they don't pay a bunch of money to attend college or school clubs/activities.

1. Do you germans ever think about moving here and doing an ausland praktikum? What do they think about our schooling?]]> 2020-04-20 16:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/517988782 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/519067999 3 Things I learned
- I learned a lot about how I am able to work online and I know that is not specifically german, but it is a big event that happened this unit. 
-I learned how to describe my future career and college goals
- I also learned more grammar

2 Things I found interesting
-  I am really surprised about the differences in the work environment of germany and the us
- The flexibility within the school system was very surprising to learn about

1 Question I still have
- In the US we do have flexibility in our life after college; however certain paths can be looked down upon, I was wondering if that is the same in germany?]]> 2020-04-21 02:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/519067999 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/524113628 3. I learned a lot of new and useful vocabulary that can definitely be useful when I go to Germany in the future. I also learned the German education system and their structure with their options they have after secondary school and the paths they can go to afterwards.  Thirdly, I learned a lot about the two-way prepositions, the genetiv case, and the da/wo words. 


2. I found it intriguing how education is essentially tuition free in Germany and also in other European countries as well. I also found interesting the different work environments in Germany and the U.S and their different motives and intentions.

1. Is there any difficulties with students after completing a German course in high school when they go to a German speaking country to study? ]]> 2020-04-22 20:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/524113628 https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/527532737 3. Other than some new vocabulary words, I have to say that I did not learn much from this unit. It was a nice review of the German school system, and it gave me a chance to compare the information in this unit to my own experiences.

2. I found most of the unit interesting, even though I was already familiar with the content. I am intent on including German and Germany in my future, and appreciated the roll this unit plays in achieving that.

1. It's not really a question, but I would like to learn more about Realschule and Hauptschule- mainly how they differ, as I have only gone to Gymnasium.]]> 2020-04-24 06:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ajepson1/qt1c19f5mnywawu/wish/527532737
