   Need ideas for a german project...
  As our final in german, we're allowed to pick any topic (except hitlar, beer, or david hasselhoff) and write a 50 word essay (in german) on it and prepare a two minute speech on it.However, I'm drawing a blank.. I cant' think of anything german to do a presentation on! .. ideas? :(thanks   
  Might not be of interest to you, but how about an essay on the different views of sex and violence that Germans (at least I believe) have as compared to the views Americans have.  Bring in some examples, such as how games/movies/other media get censored going from one market to the other.  That should easily cover 50 words, if not more.   ;  50 words for a final? what kind of beginners course is that? after 50 words you merely have the introduction to your chosen subject ....you could talk about how the German chancellor now tries to get an early election and what the difficulties are (early elections are not in our constitution-like basic laws). or the huge difference that still exists between the east and the west (e.g. 20%+ unemployment rate in the east, 6-7% mostly in the west)   ;  Damn! If only you could use David Hasselhoff.   ;Quote:Original post by XtremehoboAs our final in german, we're allowed to pick any topic (except hitlar, beer, or david hasselhoff) and write a 50 word essay (in german) on it and prepare a two minute speech on it.However, I'm drawing a blank..

If you can't do Hitler, maybe you could do it on Himmler or any other high ranking Nazi (note: I am not a Nazi, but if a teacher told me I couldn't do a project on Hitler, I would do it on Himmler because I constantly feel the juvenile need to do whatever the teacher/man doesn't want me to do).  Besides, 50 words isn't too tough, no matter who you choose.   ;  BRATWURST!   ;Quote:Original post by ToolmakerBRATWURST!I wanted to say that ..! ;  Do a story about David Hasselhoff Drinking beer with Hitlar. Then say it's an essay.It's failproof.   ;  You could do a mock review of this record:;  Write about Arnold Schwa[insert-rest-of-his-surname-that-I'm-not-going-to-try-to-spell-but-is-at-least-this-long] becoming Governator of California.Edit: Even if he isn't German. (is he German?  Or Austrian?  I can't remember... maybe he isn't even one of those two...)John B
