Well, I got a 'B'...
The school I attended was strange in that it allowed one to take German at GCSE.
Our teacher for this, Mr Peel, was an amiable gent, with kids our age, and was generally well liked. His teaching methods differed from the other German teachers, and our French teachers, somewhat.
Other teachers would have us learning endless "ich bin, du bist, er ist, ..." -- not Mr Peel! He'd teach us that kind of thing, of course, but classes often involved reading Stern or Das Spiegel and, as lads will, some snigering over the German tendency to advertise everything using topless women.
On one particularly memorable occasion a few of us borrowed a film to watch in lunch hour -- it was an American film dubbed into German. The film was broadcast on a German satellite channel, to which the school had a subscription, and was lsted as "Neun Und Ein Halv Woken". I think the only thing I recall from it is "Ja! Ja! Oh Got, oh Got! Ja!" -- which isn't much help outside of specific circumstances.

(apologies for incorrect German above, if any, but I'm trying to learn another language and don't want to mess my head up checking my German)
