I’m an English teacher at a Gymnasium in Munich, Germany. This blog was originally inspired by a particularly bright and motivated group of advanced students. It is a motley collection of things I find interesting, worth mentioning or simply entertaining – and sometimes I use it to supply additional material for my lessons.

Hi there,
“I’m an English teacher at a Gymnasium in Munich”
well, and as an english-teacher… you are really sure to work on a gymnasium??
Strange stuf. Though everybody in germany sure knows, what you’re talking about, I suppose, as an english teacher and while writing in english you shouldn’t use “false friends”.
Regards, Sam.

Good point. A Gymnasium is a secondary school that goes from years 5 to 12 and ideally ends with a degree called Abitur which allows the student to attend university. A typical Gymnasium will also have a gymnasium for physical education. Note that “Gymnasium”, like “Abitur” and “English” and “Germany”, is always spelled with a capital G; I believe spelling is important, even in the age of the Internet. Not everyone may agree.

I’d like to endorse this plea for correct spelling. There is a certain something about prepositions, too, which makes them worth minding.
