Es war einmal in Aotearoa, apparently! I'm heading to the Weltkulturen Museum Residency in a couple of days, so I've been thinking a lot about Frankfurt. I'm beginning to realise how extraordinary the German language is, and find myself wishing I knew more of it (what little I do know is thanks to Emma at the Goethe Institut in Wellington, bitte!) This seems a good time to link to this post from the Frankfurt Bookfair 2012 - An Aotearoa Affair Blog, which includes an interview with translator, Anita Goetthans, and a German translation of my story, 'kaitiaki':

I studied a German language course for six months. The grammar is much less complicated when compared to English. But learning a language is never easy. I got a certificate for A1 level. I love how the Germans say good bye. Auf Wiedersein. Comments are closed.
