Wow! You now know so much about Germany! Your friend Jordan, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family is going on a tour of German-speaking countries, including Germany and other European countries. He has asked you to help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to Germany. Write Jordan a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare German culture and American culture, especially in terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to German culture? How is it different? Use a lot of details to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun! You can use the CultureGrams™ link at the bottom of this page to get ideas and information. (5 points per paragraph)
