We had a day and a half orientation for the program. It was exciting to meet the other teachers who will be on the trip! There are a total of 28 teachers from across North Carolina in the program. At orientation we had several different speakers that presented information about different topics including German history, German schools, German language, cultural competence, and German culture. After orientation on Friday evening, we ate at The German Grille in Cary! I had the Rahm Schnitzel. Yum! I've never been a huge fan of German food, but it's growing on me already. When I got my receipt, I noticed some German words at the bottom of it. "Ohf-vhy-der-seh-hen..." I said as I attempted to pronounce the German words. "Julie!" my friend Danielle said quickly. "You know that word! You know, like in the song from The Sound of Music- "So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye." "Oh!!" I said. "Yes, I do know that word! Owf-vee-der-zayn!" I laughed as I realized I needed to work on my German phonics. It's funny how the same letters can make different sounds in different languages. I was trying my best to break the long word down into syllables, but it turned out the letters "slid" together much more than I had realized. Also, the "w" makes a "v" sound! Check out The German Grille's menu here. What would you order if you ate at The German Grille? What questions do you have about the schools in Germany? What do you think would be important to know how to say in German if you were traveling to Germany? |
