German Sports
We (Kelsey, Zack, Nate, Josh, Sheila, Kelsey, Jack, Chris,
Tyler, Ashley, and Dani) think that learning another language is important:
for instance, if you go to Germany and you want to play a sport, you might
end up playing a sport that you don't want to play if you don't know how
to say them ahead of time. Also, if you go to Disney World and German people
are talking about sports, you'll understand them and will be able to talk
to them. Another reason is if you come across an Internet page and everything
is in German, you can check out the sports page and see what's going on.
