Kultur 5 Yuwei Li

I think when Germans try to talk about "Dinner for one" with English speaking visitors, it feels just like English speakers try to talk about "fortune cookie" with Chinese. What? You don't know what fortune cookie is? It's a crisp cookie with a fortune paper inside and is served after meal in Chinese restaurant. The truth is, most people in China have never had fortune cookie in their lives.

Although we don't have Christmas in China, I still think it would be fun to see Germany Christmas market. Although it might be really crowded Dresden's Christmas market, but it still worth to fight for a piece of giant fruit cake.

Welcome to our class blog!

We will be using this blog throughout the semester for two kinds of assignments:

1. Once per chapter, the homework plan will direct you to post a response to the culture readings for the chapter on the blog.

2. Roughly every other week, the homework plan will direct you to post here for your Abenteuer mit Deutsch (AMD) assignment. First you do a fun activity that involves German, then you post about it. You should spend an hour total on this (maybe 45-55 minutes doing something, 5-15 minutes posting about it). See Was ist ein AMD, AMD Ideen and Beispiele for ideas. This should get you excited about the kinds of things you can do!

Whenever you post something, please include your name and the name of the assignment (e.g. AMD2, Kultur5) as labels. See "Blog: How To" for more details!
