Germans are big believers in clubs with a popular saying "where two Germans meet, they form a club". There is a club for every interest with over 600,000 registered clubs. The most popular clubs are centered on sport, but there are other interests as well. If you have a specific interest or are looking for a way to meet friends, taking a class can be an excellent way of expanding your social circle. Colleges, community centers, and forums are the best places to find listings for classes. There is usually an area to post announcements about courses, programs, and items of interest.
