Why German? Matt Cook introduced me to German in the early spring of 2006, and once I spent a day in class with him and Professor Hammond, I realized that German was fun and taking it in this class was sure to be too. Now that I've had that chance to be in class, I know that I get to know English on a wider level. I can't be sure when, if ever, I would want to stop taking German. |
