Walk & Talk: German in every day life - let's talk real

Forget the classroom for a while.

Join a small group for a relaxed 90-minute walk where German becomes something you actually use — while exploring Hamburg, noticing your surroundings and meeting new people.

We’ll walk, talk and interact with the city through simple conversation prompts, observation tasks and playful mini-challenges.

You might describe something you see, ask another participant a spontaneous question, find a different way to express an idea or solve a small language challenge together.

The aim isn’t perfect German.

The aim is to use German, keep the conversation going and feel more confident speaking in everyday situations.

What to expect

• a relaxed warm-up to get everyone talking
• guided walking and conversation in small groups
• practical German in real-life surroundings
• simple observation and language challenges
• plenty of opportunities to speak
• a short reflection at the end
• optional coffee afterwards for anyone who wants to continue chatting

Who is it for?

• Expats and internationals living in Hamburg
• People learning or improving their German
• Language lovers
• People who enjoy walking and meeting others
• Anyone who understands some German but wants to actually speak more

You don’t need to be fluent.

You should be comfortable with basic German and willing to give speaking a try. The activities can be adapted to different levels.

Group size: max. 6 participants
Small by design — so everyone gets a chance to talk.

English, French and Spanish are welcome when needed — but the walk itself is primarily in German.

German is easier when you have something to talk about.

Join us for a relaxed language walk through a local market in Hamburg.

Instead of sitting in a classroom, we’ll use the market around us as our conversation playground.

We’ll explore the stalls, observe what’s happening around us and use simple interactive tasks to practise German in a natural way.

Along the way, you might:

• describe what you see and smell
• discover and compare different products
• ask and answer spontaneous questions
• practise useful everyday phrases
• choose something you’d like to try and explain why
• complete small language challenges with another participant
• have short conversations with people in the group

There is no test and no pressure to speak perfectly.

The idea is simple: notice something, find the words and start talking.

We’ll finish with a short reflection. If you’d like to continue the conversation afterwards, we can optionally stop for a coffee or a snack nearby.

Who is it for?

• Expats and internationals in Hamburg
• German learners who want more speaking practice
• Language lovers
• People who enjoy markets, food and walking
• Anyone who understands basic German but wants to become more comfortable using it

German is the main language.
English, French and Spanish are welcome when necessary.

Small group, real surroundings, real conversation.

Experience German where it really happens.

Join us for a relaxed Walk & Talk at Hamburg Airport, where we’ll use the terminal and the world of travel as our language playground.

We’ll explore the airport together and practise German through real-life situations, conversation prompts, observation tasks and playful mini-challenges.

Along the way, we might look at signs and departure boards, talk about travel plans and experiences, navigate the terminal, ask and answer questions, or find different ways to express an idea.
