In 1997 11,385 second level students sat German in the Leaving Certificate Examination. Last June 6,955 students sat the exam in the Leaving Cert.
We sure aer a funny little nation.
Probably no-one in the Cabinet speaks German.
Imagine the impression that would and could be made if our representatives could converse in Berlin or Frankfurt-am-Main in German.
And so little ever said about the curent state of German teaching in our schools.
We seem to be unable to learn from our mistakes.
