Conversation Membership
Did you know that you can practice your spoken German with the Easy German team on a daily basis? Engage in spontaneous conversations with other learners on Discord, or join our moderated Zoom conversational classes, where you can improve your German speaking skills in a friendly, supportive environment.
Moderated Zoom Calls
We offer moderated Zoom calls with the Easy German team five times per week (occasionally, calls may be canceled due to national holidays or unforeseen circumstances). In these calls, we always focus on one specific topic, so you can pick up new vocabulary and actively use it in conversation. After a quick introduction with the entire group, we split into smaller breakout rooms to make sure everyone gets a chance to practice.

During conversation calls, participants split into smaller groups, and we cannot directly oversee all individual discussions. For this reason, we cannot guarantee child-friendly content within these settings. If underaged learners wish to participate, we strongly recommend that they only do so with the guidance and supervision of a parent or legal guardian to ensure a safe and suitable learning experience.
