A NEW group set up by Ilkley U3A is offering people a chance to brush up on their German speaking skills.

The small, friendly U3A German Conversation Group, meets fortnightly on Fridays in the Ilkley area from 10am until noon at a member’s house.

Group leader, Nigel Moore, said: “We still have room for one or two more members. The group decides the topic for each session at the previous meeting so we all come prepared to say a few words.

“Do come along, you will be most welcome. The group is not too high powered and is suitable for those who have done a few years of German at some point in their lives.”

More information on how to join the German Conversation group or any of the other U3A groups, can be found on the U3A website at ilkleyu3a.org.
