  • Ich will dieses oranges Auto. Ich brauche dieses oranges Auto.

  • 1 of the first kindergartens in the U.S. was built in Belleville,Illinois.It as well as most schools in the area only taught German.Eventually laws were passed that they had to teach English and kindergartens became popular in the midwest,spreading to the west coast as people migrated.By WWI German was the second language and because of the war it was dropped from general ciriculums.

  • The relatively low amount of kindergartens is an actual problem that makes it more problematic to combine having a career with having kids, especially for women.
