Deutschfreunde für November: German Games Night, amazon.de Ordering

Dear Victoria German speakers!

German speakers of all levels are invited to join in German-language activities--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 and will take place at my home, or an alternate location such as the Edelweiss Club if numbers require a change of venue. If you're interested, please send me an e-mail or phone.

Ich freue mich auf das nächste Wiedersehen mit Euch!

German Games Night
Deutsche Gesellschaftspiele

Friday, November 16 *** 19:00
Friday, November 30 *** 19:00
Friday, December 7 *** 19:00

Join us for board games and fun conversation! Gambit 7 and Bezzerwizzer Familien-Edition,  both trivia games, have been big hits! Play them among other modern classics like Die Siedler von Catan, Auf Achse, Zug um Zug Märklin, Bohnanza, Scrabble, Thurn und Taxis and 6 Nimmt!  New games added recently include Linie 1 and ABC DRS 3 deutsch und deutlich, and new for 2012 is Die Speicherstadt und Filou: die Katze im Sack.

As always, there is German music, TV programming and some age-appropriate beverages to enjoy as well.

Play a favourite, or try something new! A great way to socialize!


If you're interested, please send me an e-mail or phone in order to help me arrange a date and time for the next German Games Night.

amazon.de Ordering - November
Wünsch Dir was!

Deadline extended to November 14: 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.
