Because the goal is not to speak perfect German, the goal is to actually speak German.
This conversation group is right for you if you …
-
already understand and speak some German.
-
want to start using your German more actively.
-
want to become more confident and spontaneous when speaking.
-
live in Basel or Switzerland and would like to speak more German.
-
are not interested in traditional language classes.
-
prefer learning through conversation rather than textbooks.
-
feel more comfortable in a small group than in a large class.
-
have a sense of humour and do not take mistakes too seriously.
You do not need to speak perfect German. A solid basic understanding is enough. The important thing is that you can already hold a simple conversation and want to speak more.
