Open Letter to Schools, Youth Clubs and Churches



Dear friends, 

many of you run coffee machines, in or after your meetings, and therefore we would like to introduce you to CafeDEnglish.

CafeDEnglish started in Cafe Jellinek in Vienna, 2017 , and involved people learning English and German getting together with native speakers to chat, and to learn by talking. 

Fast forward 2024, CafeDEnglish is moving also to CafeFREnglish and CafeSPEnglish, seeking to bring in the 220m French speakers and 660 million Spanish speakers 

Many of the people we speak with are in interesting parts of the world, and it has been a learning experience for us talking with them over many years now. We would like to introduce just some of them to you over the coming weeks, through a series of CafeDEnglish events, with a focus on English, and options to break out into German, Spanish or French.

Here is our first thought, sent today to two locations in Austria... our version of Sunday'sCool
