Make friends with the German group

circle of people
Herzliche Grüße an Ihnen alle!

Also, der Sommer ist jetzt vorbei. Ich hoffe alles mit den Ferien gut ging und, dass der Gedanke am kommenden Winter nicht zu besorgniserregend ist.

Die Website war während des Sommers größtenteils inaktiv und ich möchte sie wieder in Gang bringen. Um den Stein ins Rollen zu bringen habe ich zu Ihrer Unterhaltung ein kleines, charmantes Gedicht angehängt ( Bitte, folgen Sie dem Link:Freunde ). Ich hoffe es gefällt Ihnen. (editor's note - this takes time to load but is well worth the wait.)  

Since the success of the group is largely dependent on the participation of its members I would urge you all to contribute in whatever way you can. I have already received a number of really good suggestions for group activities from restaurant and theatre visits to cookery demonstrations. However I need your thoughts on what kind of activity you want to see on the site. As long as you have some working knowledge of the language it doesn’t matter what level of German you speak or write at so don’t worry about making mistakes (I still make the most awful howlers as you will have noticed). So please, let’s hear from you!

Despite the fact that the group is known as “ die Schottisch- Deutschen Sprach- und Kulturgruppe” members from outwith Scotland are most welcome although for obvious geographic reasons they may find it difficult to take part in meet- ups.

Hoffend, bald von Ihnen zu hören.

Val
