The subject displayed 12:30 - 14:30 on the computer I used yesterday. I will be there and I will change my status on the invite.

we don't have any topics as the group is too large (usually 25 to 40 people). Swing by and speak to people in German. I will send out detailled contact information either on Tuesday or Wednesday to the newbies. Looking forward to meet you and Irinka.
Cheers

Let me just reiterate how wonderful this group is! Yesterday I managed to come at 6:30 on the dot, and not only I put in some good 2 hours of German conversation, I saw my friends, I met a ton of new people, and...after ending time at 8:30pm, when it becomes "freestyle", I even got to refresh my Spanish! Awesome evening.
I highly, highly encourage ANYONE who is new in Zurich, wants to practice German, and meet cool people to attend these meetings. Don't be afraid if your level is not too high - we have from absolute beginner to mother tongue, and everything in between.
I started from absolute 0 with German, I couldn't even say HI properly. I started classes once a week, but it wasn't enough, especially since I had a lot of trouble at the beginning to reconcile the classwork (High German) with what I heard on the street (Swiss German). Then I went to this conversation group: first couple of months I attended, I sat down, said the (very) few sentences I knew - like "How are you? My name is X", etc., and mostly listened to others.
I started speaking more and more as the time went on. It's amazing to me how I could go from 0 to making a small conversation, then on to a bigger conversation. While I am far from fluent, I am definitely more comfortable, plus I made great friends.

See you there? | | | | | I totally agree, and I have made lots of really really good friends through german conversation. In summary "German conversation group rocks" | The following 2 users would like to thank HelenT for this useful post: | |

Hey everyone, I only moved here 2 weeks ago and don't know anyone here yet. I am often feeling frustrated with my lack of German.
I look forward to meeting you all tonight, it would be nice to meet some others in the same boat. If i'm not mistaken, its at 6:30pm due to DLS? Do you guys have dinner there? If so what sort of food and are the prices reasonable?
