Herzlich Willkommen!

The Advanced German group is one of two German groups in Aberdeen u3a. It is aimed at people who have a good prior knowledge of the German language.

We improve our skills in listening to, reading and writing and, most importantly, speaking German, the emphasis being to expand conversational abilities and widen vocabulary. The group is student-led, with members taking turns to choose texts from many sources to read and discuss.

For more information, please click on the group contact link above to send a message to the group co-ordinator.

PLEASE NOTE – attendance at group activities is restricted to Aberdeen u3a members. For joining details, please see our membership page.

Remember - there are many ways that you can continue with your German, learning at home. It is really beneficial to do a little every day. Even 15 minutes a day can help with language learning.

• Use the free apps like Duolingo, Memrise, Babbel, RosettaStone. They can be fun.
• You Tube is a fantastic source of material - just do a search. I like the series Learn German. Experiment and find new sources to expand your skills.
• The website of Deutsche Welle has a host of wonderful material at all levels.
• Watch films in German that you can find on Amazon Prime, Netflix or TalkTalk's 'Walter Presents' series.

There is a lot available and try to listen to as much German as you can. Try a little every day and you'll surprise yourself how much you know and it will give you a focus.
