Lorna - Farewell



The final day of teaching has finally arrived and I must say the time has flown by! The students and Jasmine have done a fantastic job of grasping basic German in the short time they have had. They are all now able to introduce themselves in German, count to 100, order food and have knowledge of set phrases. Now that’s not bad for just 4 lessons! Although I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the fabulous German teacher they have (moi)!
Not only have they all learnt some necessary German; they have been incredibly inquisitive of the German culture and what to expect when they get off the plane. One thing is for sure, Hellersdorf is a lot different to London! Gone are the bright lights and the hustle and bustle to be replaced by the calm serenity of East Berlin. So I waved them off, like a proud mother seeing her children fly the nest.
I shall eagerly await their return to see how they survived without me!
