The Advanced German conversation group has a small and committed membership, consisting of native speakers, seasoned linguists and some wishing to revive their post A level knowledge. 

We are always keen to recruit new members in order to keep the group fresh and challenging. 

We meet every two weeks on a Tuesday afternoon in members’ homes in the north, south and west of the city – S6, S8, S17, S11 and S10. 

To allow each member to be able to participate fully we usually limit the number attending to 6 per meeting. 

Meeting in the City Centre may also be an option if there are insufficient hosts and if enough members are happy to do so. 

Meetings normally run for two hours. Generally they begin with conversation and move on a wide range of topics. 

The host usually chooses a topic for discussion and may provide a German text in advance, which is used as the basis for discussion. 

Subjects cover a wide selection of interests – current affairs, science, music, art, literature, nature and many others. 

Those attending the meeting are encouraged to prepare in advance. 

Advanced German conversation is suitable for those with a conversational standard of German at and beyond A level who wish to extend that knowledge. 

There is no formal teaching although advice is sought from native speakers in attendance. 

Some members also participate in the U3A German Walk ‘n’ Talk group. Please contact the group coordinator for further information
