When people think of the German club they think of it being more practice or more of the class. Sophomore, Nathen Endicot is in German class. When I asked him what he thought of the club he simply replied with “I think it’s like after school class, not sure, I’ve never been.” when I observed their club, first, they cleared the room. Meaning they took all the desks and moved them to the side of the room and left one row of desks. they started to play a game that the students that went to Germany learned. They would have a thick pipe but it was short in height. They had 5 strings taped on the pipe. Then one of the students would place a score ball on the pipe in the center. Then they would slowly back up with one rope in hand, and start walking toward a bottle on a desk across the room. They would have to go around a row of the desk so it wasn’t easy and took them a lot of tries to get the pipe across the room and over the plastic bottle without dropping the ball or knocking over the plastic bottle when they were placing the pipe around it. The first few attempts they kept dropping the ball super close by the plastic bottle. There were only four people there and there were five strings so one person had to hold two strings. The last time they tried I offered to hold the last string to see if maybe it would’ve helped. It paid off! We got it on the first try! Everyone felt really accomplished. Before I left I had asked the teacher, Herr, Taylor why he wanted to start a German club he had said: “To give a place for kids to hang out and learn more about the German culture and to have fun trying new things.” In conclusion, if you want to learn a foreign language, I think it’s important to learn German because “It’s not my fault you don’t take German, I’ve been telling you to take it for years”. Dwight Schrute once said that.
