Thank you for the conversations and discussions we have.

Every Monday it's so heartwarming to see you chat with each other in Swiss German.

Truly community learning is the way to go.

But this is not all I wanted to say today.

There's some extra good news!!

We have a book for you to celebrate. Just write me an email.

​Do you like clothes shopping? Clothes trends change all the time. Some make a comeback whilst others tend to be forgotten. Do you follow any trends? I usually go to a shop and pick out the things that catch my eye. Then I have to try them on. I don’t follow any trends, but just go with my feeling and what I see on how well something suits me. In today’s lesson you will learn how to name clothes items, give compliments and ask for advice. 


Goal of our next Monday 8 PM live class:

• clothes in Swiss German
• making compliments
