@JohannesDoe0681 @DrBoneys I like that you mentioned that it varies greatly. I think it would be important to take the age of the person you're talking to into consideration because people live a lot differently at different ages.

@EC58933769 @DrBoneys I agree! I always imagine Europe being a lot closer together and more crowded than America.

@DrBoneys If I were talking to someone my age, I would tell them that they typical American lives in an apartment, probably with a couple roommates. I think German homes are probably smaller than the typical American home because Europe is a lot closer together than America.

@DrBoneys My interesting fact was that the average student spends 20 years in school in Belgium! That is significantly longer compared to the United States' average of 16 years.

@emd09820 @DrBoneys A German band is what got me interested in the language years ago!! My personal favorite is Tokio Hotel :)

@DrBoneys My name is Emily Payne! I am a music education major, so German is a language that I tend to sing in a lot. I love my border collie and all things music. #GER1301
