Ever wondered what it’s really like to join our Conversation Club? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we structure each session — and why it works so well for building confidence in German.
Club Session Structure
1) The "Hallo zusammen! Wie geht's?" 👋
Every meeting starts with a warm greeting and light conversation. Simple questions like “How are you today?” or “How was your weekend?” get everyone speaking from the very start.
💬 “There is a lot of opportunity for engagement and speaking together. The pace was very good for me and I feel like I learned a lot in a short time!” – Kaiti
2) Quick review of the last session to refresh and strengthen new vocabulary.
We revisit words and phrases from past topics in natural ways. If the last session was about hair, someone might describe their hairstyle today. If we spoke about gardens, you might describe a picture as if your classmates were visiting. To make sure no one feels left out, we provide highlights from the last class — perfect for anyone who missed a session or just wants a quick reminder.
💬 “I enrolled in a B1 group and at first wasn’t that confident, but our teacher really helped me get out of my comfort zone and start talking. I look forward to every class now.” – Isidora
3) A Fresh Topic Every Time
No two sessions are alike. Each week, our team prepares a custom presentation with a brand-new theme. The focus is always on practical, everyday language you can use right away.
💬 “The classes are interactive, smooth, and so well-structured. I thoroughly enjoyed the way everything was led.” – Irena
4) Real Conversations 💬
Speaking is at the heart of everything we do.
Mini projects: Work together to solve challenges — like planning an “ideal garden” or finding excuses for being late to a meeting.
Role-plays: Step into everyday situations, for example buying tomatoes at the market while the seller tries to convince you they’re the juiciest in town.
Debates – share your opinion, listen to others, and practice defending your point of view on interesting topics.
Casual chats – relaxed conversations about daily life, hobbies, or current events, so German becomes part of your natural flow.
💬 “I like that everyone speaks — nobody stays silent. Even if you don’t know something, the teacher gently guides you in the right direction. The atmosphere is so pleasant, the 90 minutes fly by.” – Svetlana
5) Wrapping Up ✅
At the end, we reflect together: What did you learn today? This quick moment of summary helps you leave each session with a sense of progress.
💬 “The small group setting gives everyone a chance to participate, and the varied topics create a stimulating environment for discussions.” – Akshata
What Makes the Club Special
Small groups with a maximum of 5 students, so everyone gets speaking time.
A dedicated conversation coach who supports you, corrects gently, and encourages you to speak more.
Lessons that are custom-prepared for your group, never copied from a textbook.
For Plus members: a PDF after each session with useful phrases and vocabulary, so you can prepare, repeat, and remember even more.
💬 “The small groups and well-structured lessons are great for learning. I feel much more confident speaking German and have learned a lot of new words.” – Valentina
🤝 More Than a Class — A Community
Our Conversation Club is not just about practicing German — it’s about being part of a supportive community. Each group has its own WhatsApp chat, where members can share ideas, ask questions, and stay connected between sessions.
Students often tell us it feels like joining a circle of friends: you practice together in class, encourage each other during the week, and celebrate your progress step by step.
💬 “I like that everyone speaks — nobody stays silent… The atmosphere is pleasant, and 1.5 hours fly by.” – Svetlana
