I’m a former teacher of German who has forgotten more than I ever knew! I set up this group in January 2023, in the hope that there might be others out there who would enjoy trying to speak the language, and the response so far has been great.

KAFFEETRINKEN is all about encouraging the speaking of German in a relaxed setting, over a cup of coffee (or tea) and cake! If you speak German, from having learned some at school to native speaker level, and are very motivated to improve your language skills, (or just keep them going), come and join us! The aim is to have fun trying to communicate in the language and although there are no formal grammar lessons, we all help each other to get across what we are trying to say.

The class begins with some informal catch-up chat in German, then breaks into smaller groups to discuss some questions on a theme, which I send out in advance each month. This allows non-native speakers to prepare in advance.  I try to have a teacher of German in each group, which is a great help to less experienced speakers of the language.  We are also very lucky to have some native speakers who don’t mind getting their brains picked when we are stuck for a word - this happens a lot!

If you would like some more information, please contact me on the email address above. I’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Bis bald!
