“The German exchange was a great opportunity for so many reasons and I found thoroughly enjoyable.Doing the home leg first was advantageous as it alleviated any stress and worries that I had about going to Germany because I now already know my exchange partner. It was really interesting to see my life and routines through the eyes of my partner. One of the biggest contrasts that my partner found odd and initially difficult was the difference in our school day and hours.Never mind ‘Race Across the World’ the week felt more like a culinary race to eat as much British food as possible! My partner really enjoyed trying the different options available to them and went home with a suitcase full of goodies for their family to try. Marmite is apparently the English version of sauerkraut, you either love it or hate it!During the exchange I expanded my German vocabulary which is extremely useful for my schoolwork and good preparation for the speaking part of the GCSE exam. I thoroughly believe that anyone who does German as a language option should grasp this amazing opportunity with both hands, as it not only helps with schoolwork but is also a very fun and interesting experience.”![]()
