Learning German can be exciting and is often essential in everyday life – but it can also be challenging.

The German Conversation Group is not a traditional language course, but an open, weekly opportunity for international researchers at KIT to practise German and connect with others. The focus is on regular conversation practice, building confidence and meeting other international researchers.

All language levels are welcome.
No registration required.
