Deutschfreunde für Mai: UEFA Champions League. German Games Night, DFB-Pokal

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.

Wir freuen uns auf das nächste Wiedersehen mit Euch!


FußballfreundeChampions League 2013 Endspiel
Borussia Dortmund-FC Bayern München


Saturday, May 25 *** 19:00

The first ever all-German Champions League Final pits 2011 and 2012 German Champions Borussia Dortmund against 2013 Bundesliga Champions Bayern München. Will Bayern be third-time lucky in their third Champions League Final in four years, or will Borussia Dortmund win their first European Cup since 1997?

We will be watching the game recorded from German TV earlier in the day with German commentary.

This should be a great show, with many of Germany's national team players taking part: Mats Hummels, Marcel Schmelzer, Ilkay Gündogan, Kevin Großkreutz, Marco Reus, Manuel Neuer, Jérome Boateng, Philipp Lahm, Holger Badstuber, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos, Thomas Müller and Mario Gomez to name more than a few.

German Games Night
Deutsche Gesellschaftspiele


Friday, May 31 *** 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.

Board games are a great way to practice your German, regardless of your ability to speak German!

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 and the dates shown are not good for you, please send me an e-mail or phone in order to help me arrange a date and time for the next German Games Night.

The 2013 German Cup Final will feature FC Bayern München in their quest to earn a domestic double (and maybe even a rare triple) playing against VfB Stuttgart, who look for their first German Cup victory since 1997.

We will be watching the game recorded earlier in the day from German TV with German commentary.
