Hallo

Wollen wir Deutsch sprechen!

Practise and improve your German
by joining the
Bradford German Circle.

Hallo

Wollen wir Deutsch sprechen!

This is not a German course nor do we give German lessons as such. Learning and improvement comes naturally as week by week you encounter the spoken language in conversation in a social setting or from entertaining guest speakers.

Many find this style of learning more effective and far more enjoyable than a formal German course or lessons.

We also have members who are German natives and those who are fluent and just enjoy speaking German keeping their language skills up.

Come and join us, you will be very welcome!

Internationaler club Hamm in Germany logoHamm in Germany is a partner city of Bradford.

This means that there are exchanges of visits between the two cities maintaining and developing our cultural links.

These include exchanges of young students between the two cities. For example 8 German students recently assisted in a Bradford school and joined members for a weekly meeting. Click the logo to find out more.

The friendly free-flowing conversation is what keeps me coming back to the German language circle. The welcoming members are happy to share past experiences, today’s news and future plans – alles natürlich auf Deutsch.

An excellent way to keep my German up to date alongside friendly and like-minded people.

Topics cover a wide range of interesting subjects.

We know in advance what we are going to talk about, which enables us to prepare so that we can all participate in the evening.

Some Common Questions:

 

When & where do you meet?

The German Circle meets twice a month on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9pm at:

10 Eldon Place, Manningham Lane, Bradford, West Yorkshire. BD1 3AZ.

Bradford Circle for Foreign Languages

10 Eldon Place, Manningham Lane,

Bradford, West Yorkshire. BD1 3AZ.

Hope to see you soon!

My German is very basic can I still join?

Absolutely! We welcome and cater for all abilities. The aim is to maintain and develop language skills. Some people prefer to just listen until they are confident enough to join in… that is absolutely fine. Mistakes and getting it wrong is how we improve most.

Do I have to commit to every week?

Come as often or as little as you wish.

Will I be the only newcomer?

We constantly welcome new members and make sure they settle in. The atmosphere is very informal.

I don't live near Bradford, can I still come?

Of course. We think it’s worth travelling for. The Bradford Circle For Foreign Languages is the only group of it’s kind in the UK. We have been featured on TV and members travel from far and wide (even Lancashire) and from all across West Yorkshire to take advantage of the Circle’s unique benefits.
