The beginners’ group and the advanced group have nicely integrated, with suggested home studies and the help of mentors making it possible for the whole group to go on our imaginary Trip to Germany. A whole new world of vocabulary has been discovered and we will try to retain that wealth of words by using them in the future. It has also given everybody a taste of what can be seen and done should such a trip occur.

On one occasion this month I could not present the work I prepared and had to ask the members to use the prepared work without me. Pauline and Graham with the assistance of Beverley managed very well and showed what a nicely knit adaptable group can do.  I thank them for that.

We will have one more meeting this month after I write this report.  For any interested person our work is on display on the ‘Lessons’ page of the website which is so well maintained by Beverly Lee.

I love learning with this group!

The now combined German group is making very good progress in pronunciation and general knowledge of vocabulary.   

Since it is now possible to travel overseas again, we began to dream about a trip to Germany with all the vocabulary to survive should such a trip happen.   

​I am taking the members down memory lane and it appears we all enjoy it. The old brain is being rejuvenated.   

For those former students who might be interested what we are doing, check the Benalla U3A Weebly website for Advanced German/Lessons.
