Unit 2!!!

This unit explores the driving forces of language and culture in German-speaking societies. Language . . . we use it every day when we talk to friends, send and read messages, or when we spend time online. Language is so much more than that, though. Much like the saying "the clothes make the man" the languages we speak also make us who we are and how we appear to others. Language reveals pretty much everything there is to know about us!
