Der Stammtisch (Language Groups)

So, now that your German is up to speed, you might want to go out and try it out on some natives, rather than having long, superficial conversations with your computer. The perfect place to meet German-speakers, both native and non-native, is a Stammtisch, where people go to have a tall, frosty one and talk about everything under the sky. In German. The word Stammtisch originally refers to the tables where regulars sit in a restaurant or bar, so once you are at the Stammtisch, you are part of the action. Viel Glück!
