Status:Active, open to new members
Leader:
When: On Tuesday mornings
Weeks 2 & 4 - 11 a.m.
Venue: Porthcawl YMCA

Meeting in to the Cafe area in the YMCA from 11.00-13.00 on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays in the month
Organised by Regina Grech

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.

We are a small friendly group, which meets twice a month to talk German.
Two of us are “native Germans”, the others lived, or worked in Germany for a period, or have family connections. All have some knowledge of German to varying degrees. We build on this by general chit chat, discussing everyday life, reading short stories and discussing them.

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
