Well, I am now a language assnt in Bad Ischl, and loving it. mostly.

anyone have any ideas, stories, pictures etc that you think i can use in my lessons? you will of course get credited, thus making you instantly internationally famous. sort of.

make lists of CH peculiarities etc. i have shown the few pics i have to about half of my classes, they 'love' the uniform and are intrigued by the buildings, the band and everything else.

servus,
Hendrik

How about the story of Barnes Wallis and his dambusting exploits? Hitler was Austrian after all...

Get them to read this forum - should teach them all they need to know about C.H. and about the English language.

"Please, Mr. Hendrik, vot is a 'side-sh*tter'? You British, you always talk about lavatories....".

"Ein bocker???"

Is Rock School being shown over there?

Nope, sadly Rock School isn't being shown over here. Though one of the yank language assisstants was going on about how cool it was, so imagine how surprised she was when I told her I went to CH!

Any serious suggestions?

They don't really have independent schools in Austria do they?

It must be very strange to them...

have you shown the website?

The website's OK, but mainly from a prospectus point of view. What I really need are pics and stories etc. The pics on this forum are quite good but it takes me hours to trawl through them due to the layout and pic size (crap internet connection). It is tempting to just let them loose on the forum but I am loathe to show it to people who aren't OBs incase it gets abused.
If anyone does have any cool CH pics they want to send that show particular CH traits/views/buildings:

Cheers!

You`ve looked at the Official CH website I suppose? Seem to remember a pic of a class in the Language Lab - weren`t you and Oli G. in it? I may be wrong of course!

PM me perhaps and let me know what exactly you`re looking for and I`ll ask if he has anything that might fit the bill!

You`re sure you don`t want notice boards - for old times sake???!!! Got one or 2 house photos, I know that much! You could play "wer bin ich?"
