We have a new foreign exchange student from Germany..?
I live in America, and I was just wondering what I could do to relate to the new addition of my class. He seems so uncomfortable and I would like to make him feel welcome, please give constructive advice.... Thank you

If you just learn some German it'd help. Just a few words in German. Hallo, ich weiß, du bist neu hier, aber im Laufe der Zeit wird es einfacher für Sie sein komfortabel. Vielleicht morgen können wir zusammen zu Mittag essen, Ich hoffe ich kann, um mehr über Sie bald wissen, und wir könnten Freunde sein. ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag! That could go good.

maybe he is just shy and needs some time to get used to the situation. just be friendly, talk to him, invite him to activities and hope that this will break the ice. i dont know, maybe knowing a few german words would help, showing that you´re trying really hard to make him feel comfortable, but, tbh, i dont think it´ll help that much. i can only speak for myself, but i were in a foreign country i would need some time to settle down, too, and if someone spoke german to me, it wouldnt help much...i mean i would think it´s nice that they tried, but at the end they wouldnt be fluent, so we couldnt talk anyway, there´s nothing i can do with someone who speaks a few phrases of german that i couldnt do with them if they didnt know those phrases. not to forget that exchange students usually come to a english-speaking country to get more fluent in english. and deidodei is obviously not german, because his sentences didnt make sense at all. sorry if i didnt help you that much, but i´d suggest talking to him as much as possible, i am sure he´s just afraid of making the first step.
