The BGLA is currently supporting German classes in the Barossa. The classes are run by Gundi Tophinke. In all groups, the focus is on conversation and social interactions. Much more than a language class, the groups have become places of friendship and mutual support. If you want to exercise your mind, if you need some relief from the daily crossword, then come and join us.
As in previous years, we will be offering German classes at the Lyndoch Library (between Lyndoch Institute und Post Office), Conference Room, 29 Barossa Valley Way, Lyndoch SA. Parking available at rear.

Intermediate German: Saturdays, 2pm to 5pm

Through their studies over the last 4 years, this group has become very interested in the Germanic and Roman roots of the English language, hence we are now following the history of the English language from the beginnings of the Germanic Migration through to the influences of Latin and French.
