German conversation group Wimbledon

[Spargel]

I used to live in Germany and miss speaking German. I would love to start a German conversation group in Wimbledon. German native speakers would be very welcome as well.

Shame I'm in Ealing :)
Good luck though and bump!

I wouldn't mind! I did German to degree level, but am appallingly rusty; however ds has just started learning, so the cogs have started moving again. I live in the relevant area, too!

relevant area = German school and that wonderful shop in Ham?

I'm a German native speaker but rusty too as I've lived here for over 13 years. My brother keeps having heaps of fun when we speak as I smuggle in anglicisms

also there is a German toddler group in Ealing, but I still have to manage to get there myself :)

No, I meant in Spargel's area. But what is the wonderful shop in Ham????

brain not working this morning

There is a German delicatessen shop in Ham :) I'm deliberately avoiding it as I'd probably be buying their stock LOL

May I pop in to point out this lovely website to you all?

The link doesn't work, Emkana. Have you had your baby by the way?

No baby yet, no.

So MrsBigD, which foods do you most miss?

Can't drool over sunflower seed bread and mustard I'm afraid.

Ah but we get all that stuff here anyway (very smug and satisfied slightly overweight icon)

in 2 words... good food LOL

Proper bread ;)
Laugengebaeck
Schinkenwurst
proper Frankfurter
Leberkaes
Semmelknoedel
the list ist endless

Oh what I wouldn't give for a German bakery...

all those different breads! So much choice! So delicious!

How about a monthly shopping/conversation meet in Richmond/Ham?

Sorry for hi-jacking Spargel :)

Do you know I served Dickmanns Schokokuesse at dd1's birthday party the other day, all the children turned their noses up at them.

Couldn't believe it!

yumm Dicke Mohrenkoepfe ... should have told them it's marshmallow in chocolate and they probably would have eaten them ;)

When I was younger I used to put them into the microwave for a few seconds until the chocolate melted and the whole thing was triple its size.

Delicious!!!

You can buy them in Lidl - yummy.

Hmmm, German conversation group with snacks...

yes Lidl goooooooooood ;)

German conversation group with GERMAN snacks LOL

Tasting essential.

Oooh good, that's three of us already. No, I haven't seen the German deli - although we do go to the leisure centre pretty often - to work off tasty snacks of the sort bought at delis. Whereabouts is it? We normally lunch at the Polka after vigorous exercising.

No, I never seem to walk down there - thanks, will try both!
