Reading is FUNdamental!

All English-language enthusiasts are welcome to join us as we explore the American English language through books, short stories, poetry and creative writing. We revisit your favorite classics and introduce some new releases you’ll be happy to discover. This intermediate –advanced level group will read a different work each month and discuss it in detail with the support of a native English speaker.

Cover to Cover meets once a month at the Amerikazentrum on Fridays at 11:30 am. Participants must have their own reading copies. Limited to 10 participants! Coffee, tea and water provided.

Duration: 60 minutes (in English!)

Admission: 5 € for general public / 3 € for current AZ members
