Who Knew School Supplies Could be So Different Between the USA & Germany?! 🇩🇪 SCHOOL SUPPLY Shocks

When we moved to Germany in Feb. of 2021, we were expecting to experience culture shocks, but one thing that surprised us was how different the school supplies are here! It was like learning a whole new language. Many of the terms can't be directly translated, and we had to learn what they are and how they're used. Also, if you're a foreigner who's moved to Germany and you're LOST in the world of "Hefts," this video can be a guide for you!
