German Weekly Conversation

Want to practice your German skills? Join us on either Monday mornings (weekly ZOOM) and/or Wednesday mornings at Stauffacher Starbucks. All levels are welcome.

German for fun

Led by two German native speakers, who enjoy and have fun speaking to you in person discussing various current topics and help you to improve your German pronunciation and grammar. We usually meet once a month on Mondays at the 3rd-floor restaurant in the Jelmoli Zürich department store at 10:00 am, for about 1,5 Hour. If you wish to join us, contact us by email. You can find the upcoming dates on the ZIWA website activities calendar.

English Conversation Advanced

If your English is quite fluent and you enjoy reading and discussing newspaper articles or a controversial book, you’re free twice a month on Monday afternoons and are happy to visit different homes around Lake Zürich… then you are welcome to join our group. Our discussions are invariably lively and enjoyed with coffee, tea and something tasty!

Learn Italian with fun

Would you like to improve the knowledge of your italian in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere? Let’s meet twice a month on Mondays in Zürich. During our meetings we will start from personal experiences or topical issues to facilitate the conversation. We will practice communicative skills, vocabulary and grammar, but at the same time we will deepen the knowledge of the Italian culture through some practical activities. A minimal language knowledge is preferred.

If you are interested, please contact us!
