German Conversation Hour

New

The German conversation hour offers experienced learners with independent conversational ability (level B2 upwards) a chance to practice speaking with others in a relaxed and informal group led by a native-speaker facilitator. The content of the sessions is decided by the participants, with members taking turns to propose a topic and source materials (newspaper articles, webpages, videos etc.) to use as a basis for discussion. The groups are ideal for those who wish to retain or improve upon the language skills they already have and who would like feedback from a native speaker.

• University staff and students • Visiting scholars and visiting students • Partners of students and visiting scholars
