New German Speaking Families Group Starting Up in ABQ listed in Meetup.com, Listed in: http://www.meetup.com/Deutsche-Familien-in-ABQ/?gj=ej1b&a=wg2_grpn and German Language, German Culture and Language, German Culture, Deutsch, and Deutsche Sprache This group is organized by: Grit Ramuschkat, who writes:
Deutsch-sprachige Familien in ABQ
Ich habe diese Seite eingerichtet, um andere Deutsch-sprachige Familien in und um ABQ herum zu finden. Mir ist es wichtig, dass mein Sohn wenigstens ein wenig Deutsch sprechen lernt und das geht am besten, wenn es noch andere Leute, neben der Mama, gibt, die das auch tun. Ich plane, sowohl Spielgruppen für die Kinder zu organisieren, als auch Treffen, an denen die ganze Familie teilnehmen kann.
