From this information on three countries, what have you learned about African people, their
languages, customs and country. Explain in English---I have learned that most of stereotypes are not true. I also learned the kids and adults
are just like us, listen to the same music and wear mostly the same cloths. also that a lot of their
cities look huge with lights around the city and lots of beautiful waters with big boats. Africas
cities are just like the US for the most part. One other main thing I learned was that most of their
cities speak over 8ish languages!
