Deutsch lernen

I go to a German conversation group most Wednesday evenings. There's only up to 4 of us in the group plus the German leader. We usually watch the German news on Satellite TV for the first 15 minutes and that gets the conversation going. Obviously, our standard and confidence varies from person to person and funnily enough also from week to week. I get the feeling that sometimes we are staggering through a German chit-chat, more or less understanding each other, whilst the leader is more confused than us.

There's a plan to watch and discuss a film about 'das Sudetenland' soon. Anyone out there got any comments/info about this topic?
