When I did my master in Australia, one of my exam was right next door to a German exam. The professor was trying to usher in her students and, not knowing I was waiting for the other room to open, was quite surprised when I responded to her ushering attempt (which was in German, although you could tell from her pronunciation she was not a native speaker) in the most perfect, accent free German. 
So yes, there is actually a not so small German community in Down Under - especially around Adelaide.
The reason few know is, that Germans living in Australia are usually well integrated and fluent in English, so they do not rely on that community. for support.
sexual education
Kaja German was the scientific language for quite a long time, it's never been a "world language" like French or English or Spanish because Germany never really had an overseas empire. the war has nothing to do with it.
hanna_anders Victory of USA at WW2 has connection with replacement of French for English. It was because US started to be top leader around the word.
You have true that chemistry and physics was around 1900 mainly Getman thing.
youdontknowme that does not mean this is the place to talk about that
well, maybe you know the saying "it's OK to talk to the white elephant that's standing in the room" that is what going to my head when i read this

I think that's right, at least that's what I learned at school.
PS: can anyone tell me what this has to do with sexual education?

You are fully coming right about the science language. As far as I know, there was a vote after the War of Independence in the USA whether English or German should be the official language and it turned out very narrowly for English.
But now very quickly back to topic, before Angelina gets angry 
Mr-TM I thought that vote was between English and Dutch.

That is blown way out of proportion. The USA were former British colonies filled with former British subjects. Pretty much everyone who played an important role in the founding of the USA was a native English speaker who knew more French than German.
As far as I know, the vote was about something much more trivial, like whether for official government proclamations in some county or city, the German version should hold equal weight to the English version or something like that. The idea that the entire USA would be speaking German if not for some close margin of vote is just silly.
Please, stop spoil the thread.
to get back to the topic. i never talked much with my father about sexual matters, but he explained the consequences to me when i had my first period. how was it with the other girls here?
So how did the belt come into the education? Was that introduced o pletely separate? Or something like 'now you got your first period or nocturnal emission (for boys), we have to talk about what that means and hey, there is a device to prevent you from exploring this by yourself now.?
Angelina and that my hormones can make my mood very swingy during those days
I found that out the hard way
Kaja a) What will you father do if he catch you younger (13 yo for example) - right to the belt or wait some time?
difficult question, but yes i think i would have got the belt. my father himself once said he should have acted earlier.
Kaja b) If he will not cautch you - will you wear one from higher age or live without belt?
if he hadn't caught me, i wouldn't have got a belt, but i think at the latest from the moment i was in a relationship, he would have come up with this topic.
