LMS German

Jerry Owen was my German teacher, this exercise book dates from 1972. Our standard textbook was "Deutsches Leben", supplemented amongst other things by an audio-slideshow called "Vorwaerts" starring a boy called Hans Schaudi, his family, his friend Lieselotte and his pet dog Lumpi. German lessons were on LMS upper floor, south-west corridor, with occasional trips to the language lab in the new 6th Form Block. I went on two 2-week school exchanges to what was then West Germany, to a small town called Emsdetten, both times having to live with German families in their homes and speak ONLY German. The German boys were much more "grown-up" than us Leeds lads, they drank beer and smoked fags, and had a far clearer familiarity with what may lay beneath a young lady's lederhosen
