Unser Fremdsprachenassistentin Amy Irving
Kia Ora, I am Amy Irving and I am the new language assistant at Max Von Laue Gymnasium for 2012/2013. I have travelled far and wide from my hometown of Wellington, New Zealand to work with the students at MVLG. I am a university graduate, having finished my Bachelor of Arts majoring in International Relations and German in 2008. Since then I have been working on a Graduate Diploma of Commerce, majoring in Public Policy. I graduated in May 2012 from Victoria University of Wellington. I enjoy living in Germany and i did not have to think twice about the decision to apply for the scholarshihp that led me to my position as a language assistant in Germany, especially in Rheinland Pfalz.
Englisch ist eine einfache, aber
schwere Sprache. Es besteht aus
lauter Fremdwörtern, die falsch
ausgesprochen werden.
Kurt Tucholsky (1890-1935)

I have learnt German since I was at high school in New Zealand, and completed an exchange year at a German school in Bruchsal, Baden Wurttemberg in 2005. Foreign languages are optional in New Zealand schools, so the decision I made to begin learning German as a teenager was a great decision for me. Once returning to the southern hemisphere, I hope to return either to Wellington or to Melbourne in Australia to find work in my chosen field as a policy analyst, or to continue studying towards a masters in degree in policy management. I am looking to an exciting and fulfilling year at Max von Laue Gymnasium.
