My high school German is pretty rusty, but it looks like the first Mandarin immersion school has opened at a public school in Berlin. It appears to be atPlanetarium Elementary School, on Ella-Kay Street 47, 10405 Berlin.
The school goes by the name Der Deutsch-Chinesischen Grundschule.
The school is being created in two phases. In August they began the first classes for Kindergarten, first and second graders with Chinese as a focus, 4 to 7 hours a week of instruction.
In the second phase, beginning with the 2012 school year, they will inaugurate bilingual classes.
