My name is Arnold Fahrig. I have been retired since February 2006. Before that date I taught English and History at a local grammar school in Castrop-Rauxel. I have lived in the area for over 30 years. My hobbies are reading, taking part in various sports, doing photography and travelling. About a year ago I got into contact with Castrop-Rauxel VHS. I was asked if I would enjoy teaching adults English. Why not? A new challenge I thought. Now, after a year of teaching evening classes, I must confess that it is really fun working with adults who are so keen on learning English
