]]> 2026-09-22 15:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/GAILanguage/gai_bulletin_board/wish/4064263836 Introducing Our New German Book Club! GAILanguage https://padlet.com/GAILanguage/gai_bulletin_board/wish/4091346472 Do you enjoy reading in German and sharing your thoughts on books with others? Then our new German Book Club might be just what you’re looking for!

The book club is designed for participants who are already comfortable reading in German. We will meet once a month to discuss a book that everyone has read at home beforehand. Beyond the books themselves, we’ll explore interesting topics, share personal impressions, and enjoy exchanging ideas with fellow readers.

Our first meeting will take place in November and will be an opportunity to get to know one another, agree on some basic guidelines, and choose the first books we’ll read together.

If you love reading and would like to practice speaking German in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere while discovering and discussing German literature, we’d love to have you join us!

Interested in joining? Please email language@gai-mn.org to let us know you’re interested and to be added to the email list. More details, including the exact meeting dates, will be shared soon.

We look forward to reading and exchanging ideas with you!
