Chapter Two:


"'Wie heißen Sie?' Is formal. However, if you wish to be informal, you would say 'Wie heißt du?' Of course the correct response would be 'Ich heiße...' followed by your name. Now, don't forget that as a rule your family name comes last…"

"And that's the bell. There shall be a short review next Wednesday, followed by a quiz. Viel Glück!"

Mayura put her notebook away and left. She was done with classes for the day and just in time for a late lunch and a chance to explore the student activities booths set up outside in front of the dining hall. Instead of stopping at the dining hall for lunch, Mayura found a crepe stand in a nearby park across the street. She munched on the edges and licked up the strawberry syrup as she scanned the booths. Her eyes strayed over the different activities – photography, softball… finally, she found the archery club. Mayura took a flyer about their next meeting and walked on as they handed them out.

'I always do archery, and I want to join too – but I'd like to find something else as well… hrm…'

"Hello everyone! Please join our club! No experience required, we always start from the basics – and it's fun!"

Mayura turned to look at the table with the speaker.

'Ballet Club?'

Curious, Mayura walked over to the table to take a look. A girl with a long brown ponytail and green eyes waved her over.

"Hello! Please take a flyer! It has all the information about our first meeting on it!"

Mayura smiled.

"Oh! Thank you!"

Later as she rode the train home that evening, Mayura pulled the flyer out of her bag and examined the information:

Come and Join the Ballet Club – No Experience Required and LOTS of FUN!

First Meeting Friday, 4:00p.m. – Come and Meet and Greet!

'Well, it's definitely something I've never tried before…' she thought. 'Oh well! It's definitely worth a try!'
