We have a lovely German Exchange Student living with us at the moment. Bastian is 13 years old and is the boy that Jake stayed with when he went over to Germany in March.
I don't know a word of German but thankfully Bastian speaks English very well.
I think it is such a shame that we don't put as much emphasis on learning another language in this country. Bastian started learning English at a young age and speaks it well. Jake however has decided not to take German as an option.
His teacher said that he has never known someone to go over to Germany and come back speaking less German than when they went!
That's my Jake!
Jessica is now studying German in year 7 so I see a future of German students, at least for the next two years.
