CONVERSATION GROUPS
Conversation Groups are informal gatherings of people who would like to practice and/or improve their foreign language skills. All ability levels are welcome, however, no English is spoken during the meetings. These meetings are free and open to the public.
We are always looking for leaders to establish new groups! If you are interested in leading or joining a conversation group, please contact us at [email protected] or call 803.348.4490.
For our current language conversation groups and group leaders, here are some helpful guidelines and recommendations to provide you further support in managing your group.

GERMAN CONVERSATION GROUP OF THE MIDLANDS
Willkommen! We are excited to announce the launch of our new German Conversation Group! The group welcomes all levels of fluency and has big plans in store, including German language classes. A big thanks to our friends at Bierkeller for supporting and hosting the group in their beautiful biergarten along the riverfront.
The group is a great opportunity to meet other German speakers of all fluency levels and practice German and learn about German culture. Some meetings will have a speaker who will present information and topics relating to German language and culture, while other meetings will be more casual meetups.
To join the group, please submit this brief INTEREST FORM.
