German Conversation
Greg Atkins, Chair, Martock and District u3a
For about three years now, an inter-u3a German Conversation group has been meeting at various venues in Somerset. We draw members from several different u3as across Somerset. There are 18 members in the group, but usually 6-12 attend each meeting, including two native German speakers. All members have some proficiency in German, although this varies somewhat. We discuss various topics, usually connected with the culture or politics of German speaking countries, and also read and discuss a book. This is currently “Zonenkinder” by Jana Hensel. Up until now we have met in members’ houses, but have now decided to meet in a central venue, Edgar Hall in Somerton. We meet on the third or fourth Friday of the month, 2-4pm. There is a small charge (£3 to £4) to cover room rental.
Members of Somerton u3a with some proficiency in German would be very welcome to join us. More details can be obtained from Greg Atkins at: chairmaru3a@gmail.com
