About the group
Our friendly group currently has nine members, meeting on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. We all have a previous knowledge of German and are also fortunate to have two native German speakers in our group. The focus for each session is chosen by the host, so we always have an interesting mix of activities, e.g. reading German newspaper/internet articles, poems, general conversation, watching videos, translating – in fact anything German-language related. In addition, we have just started reading ‘Im Grunde ist alles ganz einfach’ by Dora Heldt, which is a collection of humorous short stories about everyday situations, from decluttering to taking selfies. It gives us the opportunity to keep up-to-date with useful vocabulary, e.g. das Selfie!
We also organise outings from time to time as well as the occasional get-together for ‘Kaffee und Kuchen’.
