This relaxed session in a café is customized to your needs. We would like to hear your story including what memories you have of your relatives who used the language.
For many it remained a secret code and you may remember just fragments but we will help to put them in context. If you bring old letters or postcards left from your parents or grandparents, we will translate them for you. Through these documents you can learn a lot about the people who wrote them and you will be surprised by the eloquent style they used.
Guests are also encouraged to ask questions and make a list of phrases and sentences they want to learn.
