The Language

The language spoken is obviously German with various dialects and accents heard in the area. Many people do speak some English but some do not at all. In general the locals are very friendly, patient and helpful when you try to speak their language.

Children, from the term they turn 4 years old, are eligible for German lessons. Parents arrange the lessons privately and are then reimbursed through Service Children Education (SCE). Currently children are eligible for 120 hours of tuition spread over 2 years.

The BBC web site has a comprehensive Learn German section aimed at all levels.
