Hola. Ni Hoa. Ciao. Hujambo. And Salut! Those are just 5 ways to say hello in different languages. Today, we are going to travel around the world. So, pack your bags and grab your passport; you're going to another country! There are so many amazing cultures and I want you to explore one of them.
Task
Your task is going to be to pick a country from the list and do research on it. I have made a list of questions that I want you to answer.
