We are a Dutch conversation group, discussing a wide range of topics, rather than formal structured learning, so a basic level of Dutch is desirable.
Small and friendly, a mix of Brits and Dutch nationals, we meet in members’ homes for the fun of improving our knowledge of the language and culture.
New members welcome.

When do we meet?
Every Thursday morning 10.00 to 12.00
What do we do?
The Group’s focus is to share members’ interests in the culture of German-speaking countries, alongside discussing and enjoying the finer details of the language whilst advancing our speaking skills.
This is a conversation and reading group rather than a teaching group and members should have a good knowledge of German, with experience of actually speaking the language, as well as enthusiasm to participate in discussions.
We divide our meeting into two parts:
Part One:
Reading and discussion of a novel, short stories and poetry written by a German-speaking author.
Part Two:
General Conversation, led each week by a different group member, who introduces a topic of interest for discussion, after which other members contribute with other topics, both serious and humorous.
