An education they’ll never forget

XQ is in Neuruppin working as a Fremdsprachenassistentin, or foreign language assistant, to get experience in teaching before continuing her teacher training. For the teachers at the schools in Neuruppin, it’s been a bit of a shock. They’ve never had a native English speaker in the town before, and initially they were worried that the West German government was planning to replace them with foreigners or show them up as incompetent.
