Do I register interest to come along or do I just turn up ? | | | | | If you just can register that would be good. So I can at least see about how many people will attend. You will also get some contact information on Tuesday or Wednesday before the meeting.

I really enjoy leading this group as it's like a little holiday every wednesday evening. | | | | | Thank you, prof.T, and all others who make the conversation group special and a very, very welcome weekly appointment. I really look forward to Wednesdays, and as you know, only "the Russians" can prevent me from coming - everyone else (boss, friends, OH) knows that Wednesday at 7-ish is German conversation group time for me!!!
Thanks to you, I have already improved a lot (although my German is still awful, but that's entirely my own fault  ) and most of all I have met you all great people, who have made my experience in Switzerland a much better one. | Quote: | |  | | | ...and great "after partys"  | | | | |
Which reminds me...we need to go out soon. It's been way too cold and unpleasant lately.

Hello everybody,
today I couldn't come because I have my last lesson
at Migros KlubSchule (level A1!), but I'd like to join
starting next time.
I'm interested in High German for now only (just
that it's already complicated!).
I can have only simple conversations in German,
is that ok?

Tiz | | | | | Titius, I first joined while in the A1 class. I am now completing the A2 level, I understand a fair bit, but can, like you, only have basic conversations in German and mostly about daily life. I have found that it is no problem, as there are many levels in the group, but I will admit that at the beginning I was mostly listening (which is ok also), now I try to talk more.
I must say, a huge part of the improvements in my spoken German happened because of this group | The following 4 users would like to thank BokerTov for this useful post: | |

It is just me or beer helps understanding and being more fluent in German?!
Maybe it's because they sell German beer at the counter.
