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 Intermediates
The new German Intermediate Group Leader is Keith Roberts, James Michel having retired from the role after many years. Keith facilitated the group’s first meeting on 15th October. The group currently has twelve very friendly members. The sessions cover a wide mix of topics ranging from German grammar to aspects of German culture, from translating to the spoken word, from role plays to presentations. 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 2019 with sessions every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 10.00 to 12.00 a.m. Our meetings are held in the Community Church, Poundbury, and will recommence in September 2021 after we 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. As of September the sessions will be split in two, the first (10.00 to 10.55) being for absolute beginners and the second (11.05 to 12.00) for the ‘Zoomers’. The aim is that the two groups will be able to meld when the ‘absolutes’ have covered the Zoomers’ material. It will work out! The group is a total delight to work with. 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. Please contact Jill Kohn for further details. email: germanconversation@dorchesteru3a.org.uk telephone: 01305 265243 |
