Led by Regina Grech, we are a small friendly group, meeting in the Cafe area in the YMCA from 11.00-13.00 on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays in the month.
Open to everyone including beginners. We do not focus on grammar or old fashioned schoolwork, but want everyone to have a go at speaking the language.
If you are thinking about it, but want a chat first, please call or email Regina (in English or German), or you can just come along.
Everyone gets a turn! We have played German scrabble, done crosswords and we tell jokes!
We don’t take ourselves seriously, we just want a fun couple of hours, using our brains. Coffee helps! We laugh a lot and leave smiling.
If this is for you…come along and give it a try.
Q: How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One! because Germans are very efficient and have no sense of humour!
That’s wrong, obviously! Ich hoffe Sie bald zu sehen. Regina
