Germany
- Country Introduction:
Germany is home to the beautiful Alps, Oktoberfest, Neuschwanstein Castle, the Autobahn, VW, Albert Einstein, and so much more. It is located in Central Europe and bordered by nine countries, as well as the North Sea and Baltic Sea. There are many cute little towns, such as Bamberg or Weimar, to explore throughout the country. A good German phrase to start off with is Wie gehts? (How's it going?)
