To achieve a good balance between German and English speakers, there are two invitations for the same event. Each invitation is limited to 6 people. Please confirm here that you are a native German speaker (or speak German well) and that you would like to practice English. We will use Zoom with ‘breakout rooms’ so we can speak in pairs. It will work like this: • We will meet initially all-together on Zoom in the ‘main room’ and then I will allocate members in pairs (and maybe a three) to individual 'breakout rooms'. • If we have native English and native German speakers present we will of course split the time between German and English. • In our pairs we will chat for about 30 minutes and then return to the main room. I will then allocate new pairs. The aim will be to have three 30 minute chats. The goal is to have three 30-minute conversations in Zoom "break-out rooms" with different conversation partners. The procedure is as follows: * We will talk in pairs for 15 minutes in English. * We will talk in pairs for 15 minutes in German. * We will change partners and repeat the process. How does that sound? There is a small charge which will be used to cover the costs of Meetup and an upgraded Zoom account - the free version only gives us 40 minutes. Come prepared with your favourite topic and we will be all systems go! See you soon! Daphne
