How nice! That's what I did in 2009/10, in England.
How well do Scottish children speak German?
Du bist ein Riese, Max, sollst immer einer sein. Großes Herz und großer Mut und nur zur Tarnung nach außen klein. Du bist ein Riese, Max, mit deiner Phantasie. Auf deinen Flügeln aus Gedanken kriegen sie dich nie.
It depends on their level. My Highers are great! But the smaller ones like S3 or S4 they are just no good. Neither in German nor in their behaviour.
Where in England have you been? Have you travelled a lot? Did you recognize your English changing to a dialect?
darkangel,
from Edinburgh
I was in Lincolnshire, where they still have good old Grammar Schools, and I worked in a Grammar School, so behaviour issues were nearly non-existent, which helped. And it was the same thing you say: A-level students were great, at least most of them, but Y10s and 11s were mostly... well... not good.
Yes, I travelled a lot, always during half term holidays. My boyfriend came over from Germany and then we hired a car and went round England. We went along Hadrian's wall and drove to Glasgow and Edinburgh. And we visited Stonehenge, North Wales, went to Dublin by ferry....
I didn't really notice that my pronunciation changed, but I was told by the kids (Miss, your English has got so much better since the beginning!) and by my boyfriend (Hey, you've got their slang!

Oh well, so you actually know my Scottish hometown! I go to Glasgow once a month for shopping, but I don't really like this town. People over here say you like either or, but can't like both. True!
I've been to Stonehenge, but I was not impressed. Last year I went over to Dublin for the German Christmas Market, but the town wasn't as beautiful as I thought.
English people usually think I'm from somewhere in Scotland, which is fine.
Did you try Haggis over here?
No I didn't try haggis, have you?
It's nice when they think that you're a native, isn't it?

Yes, I did or do regularly eat haggis. It's great!
It is, but it also causes trouble. I had some problems with my internet these days and because the guy in the shop did not believe me that I am not a native and therefore still have huge problems phoning people, he did not help me.
Anyway, internet works again. Here we go!
This is pretty interesting, I never ate haggis, but I know something pretty similar from my hometown, which is in East Westphalia. It is called "Möppkenbrot" and is really close to haggis I guess.
