The creator and organiser of **Languages in London - Girish**, will always be visible at the event and there to support you and help with introductions, if you prefer.
We want to remain the BEST language events group in London, being the biggest isn't our focus.

Knowing Who You Can Trust
Your survival depends on knowing who you can rely on. But how can you tell who your real friends are? How can you determine if a person will help make a joint venture successful?
Is there a way to predict behavior? Yes. There are fundamental elements to human behavior. When you know them you have insight into your fellow man, and just by observing how people act, you will know *everything* about them.
#### On this lecture you will learn:
* The important role of trust in human relationships.
* The Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation—the tool to know true character and predict what people will do.
* How to evaluate others accurately and guarantee a more certain future for yourself and those you care about.
With the knowledge you learn on this course, you will have tools to know who you can trust and who you can depend on.
*“Trustworthiness is a highly esteemed commodity. When one has it, one is considered valuable. When one has lost it, one may be considered worthless.”*
*—L. Ron Hubbard*
Travel Drinks & Chat: A Fresh Start for 2026
**It's been a while! -** Kickstarting this Meetup Group for 2026
Been anyway cool in 2025? What do you have planned for 2026?
Let's meet up on 30th December, Double-Eve of the New Year, for a couple of post-Xmas drinks and a catch-up, or a welcome if you've joined recently.
No particular agenda or structure, just a few (maybe more than a few) people who exercise their passports frequently & are looking for some new ideas, or some good stories.
It's in that awkward week when nobody knows what day it is, but the 30th should be (mostly) OK for travel to London Bridge area.
Hope to see you there - and feel free to drop questions or comments in the messages.
✨3 day Edinburgh Hogmanay New Year's Eve Break!✨
So my surname used to be MacAngus… and I know a thing or two about Edinburgh! 😁🏴
It’s one of my fave UK cities that I’ve got to know well, and one of the world’s most famous places to ring in the New Year, so I'm super excited to invite you to join me and other women in our community on this new 3 day, 2 night break! 🥳
Hogmanay is the Scottish word for New Year’s Eve, considered the most important Scottish holiday as Christmas was virtually banned in Scotland for around 400 years so, until the 1950s many Scots worked over Christmas and celebrated their winter solstice holiday at New Year. So, simply put, the Scots know how to do NYE right! 🥳🙌
The highlight of Hogmanay is a massive outdoor street party beneath the iconic Edinburgh Castle, which is illuminated with a show stopping midnight fireworks display, then everyone joins hands to belt out ‘Auld Lang Syne’ before continuing to party into the wee hours! 😁
But I've got much more lined up to share this brilliant city with you too; so have a look at the link below for all the info...
If, like me, you’re bored of the Christmas and New Year hols being a bit of a meh, anti-climax, then join me and other women in our community who want to make the most of life, on a Scottish adventure to make this festive season a special one to remember! 🙌✨
And if you’ve been thinking about joining us on one of our bigger trips in the future, this short break could be the perfect little taster of your first group trip and way to sample what Travel Queen is all about! ☺️
But you’ll need to be quick; I announced this on social media only last week and 5 places went right away! We also need to get our hotel rooms confirmed and street party tickets booked ASAP as these are likely to sell out fast, and it really isn’t long off now…
Our new 3 day Edinburgh NYE Hogmanay city break is now live on the Travel Queen website so you can find out all you need to know there, book online and message me through the chat with any questions - here’s the link: [https://www.travel-queen.co.uk/edinburghnyebreak](https://www.travel-queen.co.uk/edinburghnyebreak)
Roll on Hogmanay ladies - who’s joining us?! 🥳

Cinema: Marty Supreme (2025)
Let's try a central venue: The Garden Cinema is between Covent Garden and Holbon. I want to see this film because of the time period and setting - it sounds like they did a great job. Timothée Chalamet's performance in particular is getting a lot of praise.
Plot: "There is towering suspense amongst the organised chaos, and the plot pushes aggressively forward, demanding full attention for the hefty runtime. But Marty Supreme also revels in its sense of place - a vivid depiction of 1950s New York Jewish community is captured in exquisite detail, and is populated with big, idiosyncratic characters, all of whom feel lived in. The anachronistic use of 80s music blends in seamlessly, never feeling pretentious or like a stylistic gimmick."
\>\> Please book your own ticket:
https://bookings.thegardencinema.co.uk/TheGardenCinema.dll/TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_0.TcsWebTab_0.TcsPerformance_4598471.TcsSection_638
"Marty Supreme isn’t actually a ‘ping-pong movie’. Josh Safdie’s acclaimed new film is really about ambition, sex, money, fame, greed, risk, destiny, desire"
"Marty Mauser, an aspiring table tennis champion who navigates a chaotic journey filled with scams and ambition in pursuit of greatness. The film explores his struggles and relationships"
"Nobody was expecting the Marty Supreme world premiere at October’s New York Film Festival, but the response from critics in attendance is glowing."
Let's meet in the bar downstairs for a drink before the film starts at 8pm. The attendance fee is £4, hope you can join me.
Please note there is an **attendance contribution** which goes towards the yearly Meetup platform fee, and our organisers voluntary time, both necessary to keep this club alive and running! This fee will be split 50/50 between the host, Giselle, and the group organiser Dul, thank you.
