The Tellico Village German Club is a "Stammtisch" which meets the first and third Saturday each month in the Thai Bistro back room from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm (222 Lakeside Plaza Loudon, TN 37774).
A "Stammtisch" is a "Regulars' Table". The sign below says it all: "here sit those who always sit here".
English native speakers can improve their German by communicating with German native speakers, and vice versa. We've been meeting in Tellico Village since August, 2018. Speaking experience ranges from beginner to native speaker. We are fortunate to have several members who are fluent in the German language. We try to keep the conversation in German, but many speakers also translate into English as they speak. Beginners should already have some knowledge of the German language and should be willing to listen and speak in German as they are able. (Please don't dominate the conversation in English.) German-to-English translation devices are allowed, but please use headphones to avoid disturbing the rest of the group.
Everyone is welcome, and there is no fee. We usually have 5 or more attendees at these meetups. Most purchase and enjoy a late lunch, salad, or appetizer, but no purchase is required. Beer is available for purchase, and for a $1 corkage fee, you may bring your own wine. If you love Thai or Chinese food, you'll love the Thai Bistro.
