Good news! Starting October 2016 students in the Philippines can pass their German Examination A1, A2, B1 and B2 in Cebu City at the HDC German Knowledge Sprachzentrum.

ÖSD stands for “Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch” (Austrian German Language Diploma), as well as “Österreich, Schweiz, Deutschland” (Austria, Switzerland, Germany). The using of the names of the three countries indicates the pluricentric nature of the exams, as well as recognizing the standard variations of the German language in the three different countries.

It should be a long weekend. I came back from school on Saturday as a German teacher and was looking forward to report for work next on Wednesday only. On the night of Monday to Tuesday I suddenly felt very bad. I immediately thought of a food poisoning, because we had eaten fish in the evening. That was not a nice imagination, because I knew of such a food poisoning that can persist for several weeks. A few years ago I had experienced such a poisoning, and it took me two weeks to get back on my feet again. So I was hoping that there is something else and I can recover from on the following Tuesday.

On Tuesday was no work because it was a holiday (a Muslim holiday that was declared as a national holiday in the Philippines). In the morning I struggled out of bed, because my family was already up. It was about 7 am, and I was pretty broken through the sleepless night. After a diet breakfast for the sick I thought: Fortunately, today is a holiday. So I go right back to bed and I can hopefully recover.
