In a relaxed atmosphere, participants can chat and gain more confidence in their German. The program is organized and run by Andrea Dippel and Volker Budde. Low-Threshold Meeting Place Instead of a Traditional Language Course: The Babbel Caf\u00e9 is designed as a low-threshold meeting place. The focus is on appreciation, exchange, and speaking together. It is explicitly not a traditional language course or a systematic development of German skills. Rather, the aim is to get started \"babbling\" without pressure to perform, to share experiences, and to express oneself in German without fear. The program is aimed at people who can speak and read German but rarely have the opportunity to actively use the language in everyday life. Even those who have already attended a language course can further develop their spoken fluency here. Continuing a proven program: The Babbel Caf\u00e9 evolved from the former \"vhs Lerntreff Weiterstadt\" (Weiterstadt Adult Education Center Learning Group), whose funding ended in October 2025. The city of Weiterstadt has continued the program since November 2025 as part of the \"Municipal Integration Guides for Strengthening Integration Success\" (KISI) project. This program, initiated by the Hessian state government, is funded by the European Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and supports municipalities in developing sustainable integration structures. Topics from the participants' everyday lives: The content is based on the group's interests. Topics covered include life in Germany, school and work, family, democracy, and cultural diversity. In addition, the meetings incorporate thematically oriented vocabulary training, basic grammar, and sentence structure. Personal interaction \u2013 often over a cup of coffee \u2013 makes the Babbel Caf\u00e9 an important contribution to integration, participation, and linguistic confidence in everyday life. Dates and information: Interested individuals are welcome to simply drop by and participate. (WEITERSTADT \u2013 RED\/PSW)"}
