Are you looking for an opportunity to talk to other learners, brush up your knowledge of grammar and learn new vocabulary along the way?

Conversation Group
‘Coffee and Conversation – CoCo’
Have you reached the level A2 +/B1 and just want to speak German without having to think about grammar or be afraid of making mistakes?
Then come along to one of our weekly CoCo meetings. The group meets with a teacher in a cafe. You get to drink coffee, meet friendly people and talk, talk, talk. It’s never been so much fun to build your vocabulary.
Please note that the CoCo meetings are not classes and are not a replacement for a German course, but they are an ideal supplement to any course.
CoCo groups: Monday, 11:30 a.m. in a cafe in Zurich
Price: CHF 150.00 (10 weeks)
