💬 Sprachcafé
Imagine chatting in a new language without worrying about mistakes or grammar.
At the Sprachcafé, you are invited to put aside negative thoughts surrounding learning a new language and simply go with the flow. The main goal in these sessions is to have fun while practicing, not to perform perfectly.
💬 Practice German in the community.
🎯 Focused, easy-to-digest themes.
🗣️ English support available.
📃 Helpful written materials.
🎟️ Completely free to join.
What happens during the sessions?
Each session includes a description focused on a specific topic that helps you engage in the exercise. At the beginning, we provide prompts and vocabulary to ensure you feel supported.
The conversations are held in smaller, intimate groups, which eliminates the pressure to perform. This creates a relaxed and honest environment. In the end, you’ll find that you’re just talking to another human, who’s on the same learning journey.
At the Sprachcafé we speak, listen, and learn German online, together.
The essentials:
🕢 1.5-hour Workshop in German
📍 Online via Discord
👯♂️ 10 to 25 participants
🗣️ English as a support language
For free!
How can I join?
We gather every Thursday at 21:00 (9 PM) Berlin time (GMT+1) over Discord, and every session is around one and a half hours long.
The majority of the group is at the A2-B2 level, but you are very welcome at any level. You will be provided a slower setting and English as a support language. If you are a native, there’s always a playful basis in our workshops, and your knowledge enriches the experience, so feel free to join.
To sign up, you just need to be 18 or older and willing to contribute to the talk. Fill out this form to get the invitation link.
✏️ 1. Sign Up
Fill in the form to sign up. Upon submission, you get an invitation to our Discord community.
If you need support, please take a look at How to getting started manuals.
⚙️ 2. Setup
Take some time to arrive on the server, read the Guidelines, and settle in.
The channel descriptions and pinned messages will guide you through.
🗓️ 3. Get ready
Log 5 minutes before the start, and make sure your audio and microphone are working correctly.
If you need help, let us know if and we got you covered!
✨ 4. Mingle
After the workshop, you can choose how to manage your interactions. Consent is key.
You can mingle with the community, participate in extra activities, or sign up directly for future sessions.
The session is free, but we would appreciate, if you could help us reach more people by sharing the word on Instagram. 🙏
“The Sprachcafé gave me hope in practicing German, given that I’m not surrounded by any German speakers. You’re so much appreciated!”

Getting a ticket is super easy and varies a bit by workshop! Usually, you just need to fill out a quick form to join in on the fun and become part of our wonderful community. Don’t worry, the details you provide are just for us to keep things organized. Totally safe and sound!
For example, if you’re signing up for the 🎠 Playground workshop, we’ll simply ask for a few details, such as your age and preferences, to help customize your experience. Once you submit the form, one of our team members will review it and email you.

Please cancel your ticket directly on the booking platform. Refunds are available up to two days before.

Our workshops are limited to 25 participants, and unfortunately, we can’t hold tickets in case an event sells out. Several ticket links are sent to ensure our events are at their full potential. If the event you wanted to attend is sold out, you are welcome to email us to request a new ticket for a future date.

Great question! Over Discord, we prioritize your safety with our friendly Community Guidelines. Everyone keeps their cameras off to ensure comfort, and you can always ask for help, including problems related to private messages from other members.
While some members choose to connect in real life, we leave that decision and responsibility up to them. 🙂
-
In our sessions, it’s all about how you connect and share, not how you look! We love that anonymity lets everyone be open, real, and curious, making for a truly honest experience.
-
We chose Discord because they do not sell personal data and allows users to set their data preferences.
