For complete beginners or anyone who might want to work towards catching up with the intermediate group. We do formal grammar, gently, and vocabulary, but also try to look at amusing items for light relief. German is quite a structured language, and some knowledge of grammar in our own language is very useful, but we cope with this, helping each other, no pressure involved.
