German Ocean

By Richard, Shelby, Andrew, Dustin, Hannah, Cheyenne, and Megan

We must protect our oceans. The world is growing and we must be careful of pollution. People around the world are concerned about our oceans. You may join an international group to protect the ocean and maybe there will be German people in the group. So that you can work together, you will need to know these words in German. You will want to know how you can protect Krabe, Delphin, Aal, and Fisch. You will also want to talk about how you can prevent Abfall. Learn German and don't forget to help keep our oceans clean!

Shark is pronounced like 'hi' in German. The last thing you will probably want to say to a Hai is 'hi', but at least you'll remember the word now.

Tourist is Tourist. Make sure to capitalize the word Tourist though. In German you capitalize all people, places, and things.

If you like to surf, then you will be doing doing 'well' if you find a great big Welle. Go dude!

Boots are often brown and so are boats. Boot (German) = boat (English).

You might like to 'garnish' your plate with a bunch of Garnele. Garnele means shrimp.

If a rock 'fell' on you, it would hurt. If you go to a beach and see a sign of a Fels falling, watch out!

Glass is sharp. If you cut off one of the "s" you see in the word glass, you get Glas - the German word for glass.
