It's auf wiedersehen Beth for an Exeter School pupil who has won a place on a prestigious educational language course.

She said the course had a strong cultural aspect as well as being based on the German language.
Beth said: "When I return from the course, I will also have to talk to a group of primary age children to share my experiences, as well as trying to promote the learning of modern languages."
Beth enjoys spending time in Germany learning about the culture and language and intends to study it at university.
German teacher Mrs Wilson said: "Beth has already participated in two school exchanges, she is full of enthusiasm to perfect her language skills and this experience is a unique opportunity for her to further broaden her horizons.
"Beth has definitely caught the languages bug!"
In order to win a place on the coveted scheme, Beth had fill out a detailed form in German as to why she wanted to apply, as well as my future plans, hobbies, and thoughts on Germany. She also had to send in a recent piece of German coursework.
