About 300 school students from the greater Auckland area took part in the in the 64th Auckland Goethe Society exams, our annual German language competition. Congratulations to Andrew Thompson, from Westlake Boys' High School, who was placed first, and to all those who took part!

We wholeheartedly agree with Dr Anna Bauer, DAAD representative, who spoke at the prizegiving: „Speaking more than one language is simply really good for the brain - getting into the nitty-gritty of another language also makes you understand your native language better.” And “there are tons of opportunities with German”!
