the German conversation group gets going
Chance met with several of the students this past Friday for the first informal German conversation group. The point of the group is to provide a resource for the students on the program who either haven’t had German before, or who want to practice the basics. The hit this week: Chance’s impression of the Hausmeister’s Berliner Schnauze – his Berlin dialect!
