Instead of attempting boring ‘Brain Exercises’ intended to fend off the passing years, come and give your brain some worthwhile exercise: learn a new language. German will give you all the exercise you need and more! There is an added advantage: you will be able to treat yourself and put your new skill into practice with a holiday in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, a visit to a Christmas market, or to a wine-growing area, or shopping in Berlin.
Even a few words such as ‘ein Bier bitte’ and ‘Danke’ will be rewarded with a friendly response, but you will know far more words than those by next summer.

German Intermediate
After a lengthy interruption due to illness and lockdown the first meeting of the newly formed group was held in October 2021. We currently have ten very friendly and highly motivated members with a broad spectrum of interests. In 2022 our highly interactive classes will continue to cover a wide variety of topics ranging from key aspects of German lifestyle and culture to grammar, from translation to the spoken word, from crosswords to quizzes. Not forgetting exposure to German music and TV news broadcasts.
Meetings are held on the first and third Friday of the month from 10.30 a.m. to 12 noon at the Dorchester Community Church in Poundbury (see timetable for dates).
Please contact Keith Roberts for further details.

German for Beginners
Our group launched in January 2020 with sessions every second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon. The meetings are held at the Dorchester Community Church in Poundbury, and restarted in September 2021 after we had managed just four sessions prior to lockdown. During lockdown half of the group followed the sessions on Zoom, and all group members received written feedback after each session. The sessions were split into two halves, the first being for absolute beginners and the second for the ‘Zoomers’, but all now participate in both sessions. The two groups are melding well, with the absolutes starting from scratch and expanding their knowledge quickly, while the Zoomers are enjoying re-visiting material and reinforcing their knowledge. It is all working well! Above all, the group is a total delight to work with and the newcomers have fitted in very well. Please contact Hilary Fecher-Roberts for further details. email: germanbeginners@dorchesteru3a.org.uk telephone: 07799 472153 |
German Conversation
The group meets fortnightly for general conversation and discussion of a chosen theme. Meetings are held in members homes. Dates are shown in the Timetable. We have had quizzes and games sessions as well as sharing skills such as making a typical Adventskranz. Most members are fairly fluent, but not necessarily bilingual.
