Deutschfreunde für September - WM Qualis, German Games Night, amazon.de Ordering

Dear Victoria German speakers!

As in the past, I'm inviting German speakers of all levels to join me for German-language activities.

New since my last update is that I will be hosting the majority of these activities at my home. Interested participants will help me arrange suitable dates and times.

These activities are great for anyone who'd like to improve or keep up their German, or just to make new friends through the German language.

To view a calendar with these events directly, please visit Deutschfreunde. German Games Night will be scheduled by agreement amongst interested people. If you're interested, please send me an e-mail or phone.

Ich freue mich auf das nächste Wiedersehen mit Euch!

amazon.de Ordering - November
Wünsch Dir was!

In November, I will be placing at least one order from amazon.de in Germany for delivery to Victoria in time for the Christmas holidays. If you are interested in any items amazon.de sells directly and are in stock (calendars, books, compact discs and games make great gifts!), please contact me to learn how economical it is to order as part of a group.
