I'm gearing up for my fourth and hopefully final year in European Studies at The Hague University. Basically it's a mixture of languages and cultures that could see me land an advisory job at a company or government on how they should deal with a particular country and it's culture.

I have to study until December and then do a workplacement (internship for all you Americans ) in a foreign country from January - July. I'm hoping to get to America

This is my last year in highschool. I am taking college biology, Calculus and European History which will hopefully land me in medical school. My other classes are easy -journalism, speech, and orchestra( i play the violin)

I start my first year of Uni in october. I'm studying law.

 

[Slagathor]

European History? At what year do they start when they teach you that in the States?

 

[scorpion10]

I actually chose it in my 12th year as a college course to get college credit. I think they teach it in college only.

Maybe you should take this one step at a time; ask him when they learn the concept of 'Europe' in the States

Hmm that is a much better deal. Over here they start teaching you from age 4 then run it through all of highschool until your graduation year.

Of course they have to. The history of my country effectively starts 3000 years ago

Hell I'm doing internship now.

Where are you studying law at?

See that's the difference Eric, here we learn United States history from the age of four. Christopher Columbus and all that good stuff. This was what we had to say- In 1942 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It is drilled into our minds.

1942?

Anyway; why start teaching kids the history of your country at age 4 when there's only the odd 5 centuries to cover? :undecide:

Oops 1492. Ha HA.

Oohh c'mon it was just a joke. It's not like the average European can tell the difference between Alabama and Missouri or summat
