- Imagine the cozy ambience of a board game cafรฉ in Berlin. You and your partner are seated across each other with a bunch of board games in front of you. The twist? All these games are geared towards learning German language. Can you beat your partner while speaking only in Deutsch?
- As the evening unfolds, you'll find yourselves fully engrossed in the game, strategizing moves while communicating in German. Between playful smack talks and gentle nudges, you'll learn an array of german phrases and words, making learning an experience youโll never want to leave.
- By the end of date, you and your partner will have certainly enriched your German vocabulary. You will come back home not with just a feeling of joy and excitement, but with a sense of productive accomplishment too.
Preparation steps:
- Before the date, make sure to familiarise yourself with the basics of the German language. It wouldnโt be entirely necessary but would definitely help you get into the spirit of your language-driven board game night.
- Check out the venue beforehand. Some board game cafรฉs have specific language nights, but most will have someone who speaks English who can help you understand the rules of the game or recommend games that are ideal for learning German.
- Lastly, donโt stress about knowing or not knowing German. The goal of this date is to learn along with your partner, help one another, and have fun.
Some tips:
- Breaking the ice with your waiter in German could be a great start to your date. Even if itโs a simple 'Hallo, wie gehtโs?', taking that first step in the native language will go a long way in setting the tone for the rest of your date.
- During the game, try and communicate as much as possible in German. Even if it's simple words or phrases initially, the goal is to get comfortable speaking and listening to the language. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes. That's how you learn.
- Lastly, donโt make the date a competition between who learns the most words. Instead, make it a cooperative session where you can help each other learn. Itโs about having fun and learning something new together.
