The December guest speakers for the International Club were Felix Schmalhaus and Alessio Fusini. Both boys are foreign exchange students at Central High School. Felix is from Germany and Alessio is from Italy. In both countries, students start learning English in 5th grade. They shared German and Italian culture and spoke about the importance of learning another language. The International Club students were able to ask questions, too. Felix likes to watch American football and likes both the burgers in Germany and in the U.S. Alessio loves to play basketball and watch the World Cup. He is amazed at how pizza here in the U.S. is so different from pizza in Italy. Our next meeting will be January 11. All students are invited to join the International Club.
