| | German American Contributions to Mainstream Culture |
| | The German language in North America lost significant ground as a "heritage language" during World War I, when speaking German in public was prohibited and German church and civic groups were asked not to use German. | | | However, the term "German" in this context does not relate to nationality and state boundaries, but to the common bonds of ethnicity, language and culture found in, and coming from, the German-speaking countries and areas of Europe. | | | As an opener you may want to ask whether someone in your class has a German name an whether s/he knows what that name means. |

But he appeared to be an innovator and, in that excited season, a traitor. | | | Newman had made the mistake of handling an explosive matter without precaution, in the dry legal fashion of an advocate, instead of using his his incomparable gift of language to persuade and convince. | | | It had many features in common with German Romanticism; and, like the policy of a Free Church eloquently advocated by Lamennais, it made war on the old servitude to the State and looked for support to the people. |
