Kaffeestunde – Hosted by GNS+ Graduate Students
Kaffeestunde (Coffee hour), conversation hours for Undergrad students to practice their German language skills outside of the classroom.
See the Undergraduate German+ Events Calendar for dates, times, and locations.
Stammtisch – Hosted by the UW German Club
Stammtisch is a German conversation table held in the Memorial Union Rathskeller. It’s a great way to meet other German speakers and practice your German in a fun, casual setting outside of the classroom. Come for 10 minutes or stay the whole time—we would love to see you there! Just look for the table with the German flag. ALL levels of German are welcome!
