Powell Schauties from Berlin, Germany<\/a>, a former Helen Doron English<\/a> student, placed highly in the international Big Challenge competition. Although Powell is only 12 years old, he was very well-prepared due to his determination, his excellent background in English<\/a> and, in his own words, \u201cI am good in English as my mother loves the language and we have lots of English friends. My mother knows how important English is and I agree. She made sure I started learning English from a very early age.\u201d The Big Challenge<\/a> is an English language contest for students between the ages of 11 and 16. It is held every year in May in schools across France, Germany, Austria, Spain and Sweden. In 2013,\u00a0over 610,000 students with 30,000 teachers\u00a0from 6,000 schools participated in The Big Challenge. Powell told us that the questions were mainly about North American and British politics, as well as vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.<\/p>\n

If accent had been taken into consideration, the young man would have tested highly, as his spoken English is precise, confident and error-free. An only child, Powell began studying English with a Helen Doron teacher at age 3, followed by several years of Helen Doron classes at the Charlottenburg – Wilmersdorf Learning Centre in Berlin until age 12. He fondly remembers his Helen Doron English teachers, Mela and Patty and what the classes gave him throughout the years. \u201cHelen Doron English helped me, as I am not at all afraid to speak English, even when on holiday in English-speaking countries. I can speak to anyone in English! I am at the top of my class in English now, as well as #63 out of 29,681 participants in my age group in all of Germany!\u201d The very mature and well-spoken teen continued, \u201cWinning is not so important to me, but I know English will help me find a good job and a place in a good university. I would like to either be a reporter or a movie director in both English and German.\u201d Like many teens his age, Powell enjoys playing soccer both on the field and also on his Xbox. He loves the band Lincoln Park, and his favourite song is Numb. Radio station? \u201cI listen to Helen Doron radio<\/a> and I really like it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
