Learn German in a Café

Sprachcafe literally means Language Café.

A concept that basically comes from Europe where people learning a particular language meet in a café and talk to each other in that language. Did you ask, “if it really helps?” My answer to it “yes, definitely”. A Sprachcafe allows the language learning people to ease a bit and talk in an open atmosphere. Here there are no classrooms, or any barriers of any particular kind. Students can buy themselves drinks, food or nothing at all. The sole purpose of this concept is to get people to talk in the language they are aspiring to learn.

How does this work at LingoThoughts?

We announce a topic of discussion to the students a day prior to Sprachcafe. This way the students come prepared with their points and are confident to talk. Also, they just don’t talk only about the points they have written, they also get more points from their fellow classmates. This increases their vocabulary and improves speaking skills with each other.

How successful is Sprachcafe?

On the scale of 1–10 I would rate it 8 points. “Why”, you ask me? It is completely based on my experience. I started this with a batch of students who were learning German language — B1 level. They knew the Grammar well, also were very good with their Vocabulary, but still couldn’t gather the confidence to speak fluently. This is where Sprachcafe helped them open up their minds and mouths per say😉. They spoke for one complete hour and wouldn’t stop even after that. The pleasant atmosphere of the café and freeness of talking helped a lot. Of course, there were mistakes while talking, but that is something that could be worked on, but building confidence is one very important aspect. And, I could say we achieved it through this experiment. But definitely it would go up to 10/10 with more involvement from the students and the language trainers.

How often do you do a Sprachcafe?

We do a Sprachcafe once/twice for every batch. This is not a compulsory task, but it is highly recommended by us.

You can also join our Sprachcafe events without being registered at LingoThoughts or you could also enroll in one of our batches, you can find more information on,
