German Language and Culture

This really varies- it depends on what area and what type of school. Students often have different schedules every day. Elementary students are often released at 1 p.m., while college prep school students (grades 5- 13) can be released anywhere from 12:15 to around 4:30. An interesting thing may happen, usually in secondary schools (grades 5- 13) when a teacher is gone- most schools don't have substitutes and students just wait for their next class (unless a teacher is free and willing to supervise the class, in which case it usually becomes like a study hall) or, if their absent teacher teaches the last class(es) of the day, they can just leave school early. Sometimes students find two teachers are sick, and if they have 5 subjects that day and they have each teacher for two periods, they can simply leave after 1st hour.

With french you have to learn all the past participles like aller or etre. But with German it is so much easier. Because you only have to learn the different forms of one word. plus i find German more fun!!!!!!!!!!

Are you asking about "Hallo" or "Guten Tag"?

Eight, if you include ä, ö, and ü. If you don't, then just five: a, e, i, o, u.

"Moin Moin" is a common greeting used in northern Germany, particularly in regions like Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. It is a casual way of saying hello and is often used in the mornings or throughout the day.

The language spoken in Germany is German. It is a West Germanic language and is one of the most widely spoken languages in the European Union.

You must be at least 17 years old to join the German army as a soldier. However, you cannot be deployed for international missions until you are at least 18 years old.

How are you is translated with "Wie geht es dir?". The intonation in German is always on the first part of the word. The "?" on the end of the sentence is spoken like in English with a rising of the voice on the last word.

North Rhine-Westphalia is the Bundesland (state) with the highest number of inhabitants. The reason that this is the case is the high concentration of cities, like Düsseldorf, Essen, Köhln, Bonn, and others in the area. As a combined metropolitan area, it is one of the largest (population-wise) metropolitan areas in Europe.

That depends on the school, but they usually start at 8 am.

"Ein Nehmer ist kein Geber"is a German Proverb. It translates as "A taker is no giver".

The German word "oma" translates to "grandma" or "granny" in English, referring to one's grandmother.

Correctly conjugated it should be "ich habe." This means "I have".

Sie in German is pronounced as "zee" with a long E sound. It is used as the formal word for "you" and also as the pronoun "they."

German culture is very, very old. We don't know exactly how old though. we know that it is far older than ancient Egypt and ancient Sumerian (although Germany didn't have a well-established empire back then so their cultural presence is very enigmatic at best.) How we know that Germany is older than ancient Egypt is because Archeologist have unearthed the very first solar observatory in Saxony, Germany called the Goseck circle. When unearthed, archeologist dated it to about 4900 B.C. (Ancient Egypt showed first signs of it's empire in 3500 B.C.) Also too, Germany invented the idea of the Christmas tree in the 4th century AD. Germany also had a significant cultural status in the 1st millennium BC because King of Europe, Charlemagne ruled from late to mid 8th century BC, and his kingdom's capital was Aachen, Germany.

Most Germans especially teenagers think everything to so with America is cool. Although there are many stereotypes such as Americans smile too much, are over-friendly etc. but I think over all Germans think positively about Americans! I am German and that's the stuff I heard people say...
