German exchange
Templecarrig Greystones - Lappersdorf Gymnasium Freundschaft
Gastfreundlichkeit
The goal of our language exchange programme is to increase our students' fluency, motivation to learn and understanding of different cultures, which can only be achieved by experiencing school and family life in Germany.
Learning a language is a challenge and is a discipline that needs to be practised and used regularly. By immersing yourself in the language, you force yourself to struggle to be understood on a daily basis and it is by conquering this "struggle" that you cultivate your language skills.
There are many unintentional benefits of exchanging life with a German student but perhaps the most valuable are the friendships that emerge and we are very grateful to the Gastfreundlichkeit that our friends in Lappersdorf showed us during our visit in December 2017.
