Dear Victoria German speakers! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Did you resolve to speak more German in 2013?
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 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! Thursday, January 3 *** 19:00
Friday, January 11 *** 19:00
Friday, January 25 *** 19:00
Join us for board
games and fun conversation!
Gambit 7 and
Bezzerwizzer Familien-Edition, both trivia games, have been big hits! I'm eager to get the language and memory game
Eselsbrücke on the table, too.
Play these games among other modern classics like
Die Siedler von Catan,
Auf Achse,
Zug um Zug Märklin,
Bohnanza,
Scrabble,
Thurn und Taxis and
6 Nimmt! Linie 1 and
ABC DRS 3 deutsch und deutlich,
Die Speicherstadt und
Filou: die Katze im Sack were also new additions for 2012 (and big hits with my English-speaking friends, I might add!). Whether you play games regularly or not, there is something for everybody!
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.
German Games Night at GottaCon 2013Enjoying German BoardgamesFriday, February 1 *** evening
Saturday, February 2 *** morning
Sunday, February 3 *** afternoon
I will be presenting a games table once again at the ever-growing GottaCon gaming convention at Pearkes Field House (near Silver City & Tillicum Mall) the first weekend in February.
GottaCon is a great way to learn about board games, video games and other gaming hobbies. I always enjoy the chance to talk about how board games have helped me improve my German skills and knowledge about the world, to make new friends, and to play. I hope to see you there.

This
Bundesliga game will be presented in the German language recorded from German TV earlier in the day.
After the Winter Break, can Bayern München hold on to its seemingly unsurmountable lead in the Bundesliga table? Will all seven German clubs in the UEFA competitions survive the next round? We'll start to find out on January 18! Come to watch and talk German soccer. Please
send me an e-mail if you are interested in taking part, start time can be adjusted to accommodate. German beer and halftime sausage will be within reach!
