“ Great group of ladies and cute babies. Very down-to-earth get togethers, where you and your little one can learn some German language and socialize with the little ones. ” — Playgroup member “ A wonderful way to meet very nice people for the adults as well as the kids while giving all of us a chance to converse in German. ” — Playgroup member | ||||||||
