German Language Learning Club

Home

We are a TWENTY year old cooperative of  adult, and children students, and native teachers who enjoy the pursuit of the German language and culture in an informal environment. 
The Club was created in 1990 by the Yorkville Historian, Kathy Jolowicz to keep the German heritage alive - as little, or almost nothing is left of the once internationally famous landmark called Yorkville/Kleindeutschland.
We are not profit oriented and  are solely run and supported by our members.  
We offer 7 levels of adult learning and 5 children's classes from toddlers to teens, as well as social and cultural events. 
  • All you have to do to join our club is sign up for our  classes!

    •                                                      SCHEDULE AND LOCATION

    We meet Tuesdays, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.  The fall semester starts September 15 and continues for 15 weeks through January 12, 2010.
    This semester includes our annual German Buffet Christmas Party for our students and their families.

    Classes are held     in Yorkville at 110 East 88th Street, at PS 169.

     ADULT CLASSES


    BEGINER LEVEL 1 BEGINER LEVEL 2 BEGINNER LEVEL 3
    INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 1 INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 2 INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 3
    AN ADVANCED READING/CONVERSATION CLASS

    The cost of the classes depend on the number of students enrolled. Students pay their share of the expenses, thus the more students we have via pre-registration, the less the fee.
    The     15-week/30 hour course usually fluctuates around $400.00  
    We suggest you pre-register early as this determines the ordering of books,      and available seats, as well as the fees,.
    Books are extra!
    • Students must register via the brochure coupon and bring two blank checks on the first night of class (a third check if books are needed), or they may not be addmitted! Last minute walk-ins without checks upset the whole process!
    • To pre register you must mail in the brochure coupon with a $40.00 non-refundable registration fee.
    • To get on our mailing list to receive a brochure please call Kathy at 212/249-0125.
    • Students may be accepted during the course, but only if they have some proficiency in German.

                                      FRANZ'S STAMMTISCH

    For those of you who feel comfortable conversing in German you are invited to join us.  German Americans and Native Germans come together once a month to have a German dinner, drink good German Beer, and keep up contact to discuss anything and everything with others who speak German.
    It is an open invitation to those German speaking individuals who have learned the language and those who just learned it from birth. 
    Upper students from the German Language Learning Club come and make new friends. Those who come to the Stammtisch and want to brush up on thier German join the GLLC, and make new friends.
