Introduction: As part of the Fulbright "Meet US" program, I had an opportunity to visit English classes at the Carl-Engler-Schule in Karlsruhe to share what it was like to grow up in America. Students also prepared presentations about various cultural aspects in Germany ranging from food to compound nouns to German film. The Carl-Engler-Schule Karlsruhe is a vocational school that specializes in technical and scientific education. Thank you to Marlene Schulz and her students for participating!
