https://youtu.be/o0J0dhpjt4k https://youtu.be/_Q24CEKgVqg https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/bib270547 _______ Sad and not old? Sonia's Song, by Sonia Korn-Grimani 2022 10 03 I first met Mis. Korn-Grimani in 2017, Jan. 5. (or at least for that Italian holiday) when she was still actively promoting her memoir about the 1931 - 1945 Nazi SS freely killing and robbing era. (like what the Chinese Red Guard was doing, or the current "taboo" phenomena in USA ). I might have gone through the book the first time in 2018 (or 2017), shortly after she asked me to attend her talk. Anyway, Since I started to learn using TextQuitling to do READING in FOREIGN LANGUAGES (YES, ENGLISH INCLUDED) Also, I'd like to introduce my 84 years old mother to read something not as scientific dense materials, such as Robert Saplosky's Why Zebra don't Get Ulcers. Thus I decided to pick Sonia Korn-Grimani's project (She was receiving invitation from US s Holocaust Memorial Museum to put down her life stories in English, while she has wrote her memoir in German in 2009) Anyway, While reading, I do realize that her story was in the same category of Anne Frank's diary.) I am not sure if this is an OLD STORY, while, hey, Bible is still the most popular book in print after thousands of years. Not only so, BUT IT IS VERY BRUTALLY TRUE that THERE ARE MANY MANY WAR ORPHANs in Ukraine, EVERYDAY, while the WAR murder cases are still ongoing. I'm just kind of sad, Whatever Sonia Korn-Grimani had wished when she wrote down her life stories, the blessing did not last. Dr. Korn-Grimani was able to write in a "clear", "non-emotional" tone at her 78 years old time. In case you want to have an opportunity to ask yourself: "IF SIMILAR THINGS happen to my immediate environment, Would I be able NOT TO ACT CRUEL? Would I be able to rise the gun ONE INCH HIGHER?" Then, Maybe this similar to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" can provide you a "time travel" to her time, and her location.. the "oppressive" living condition. Surely, as usual, I'm on the quest to "SEEK" "friends", who are in the same path of studying "foreign languages", English included.

TODOS NUESTRAS SESIONES SON ONLINE Acompañanos por ZOOM cada miércoles. https://zoom.us/j/522739465?pwd=NnBBcVpQNGNSakF3QjVwelZEb1dIZz09 ________________ ¿Sabes dónde se entrenan los próximos grandes oradores? ¿Alguna vez haz visto un orador o conferencista que te dejo impactado, como dominaba a su público, la seguridad que proyectaba y la claridad de su mensaje? Si estos temas te interesan, ven y conoce las técnicas y los secretos para perder el miedo a hablar en público. ------ ¿Qué hacemos exactamente en cada reunión? Cada reunión es dirigida por el Toastmaster de la noche, es decir el maestro de ceremonias de ese día, se divide 3 partes principales en cada sesión: (1) Discursos preparados: por lo general son de 2 a 4 discursos, presentados por alguno de nuestros miembros. Es un speech diferente cada noche y creado por cada orador. (2) Improvisados: es la parte de la noche donde retamos a los asistentes a pasar adelante e improvisar, cada persona tiene 2 minutos para hablarnos sobre un tema al azar, por lo general pasan 4 o 5 personas. (3) Evaluación: es la parte más importante de la noche en la cual todos los participantes reciben retroalimentación sobre los aspectos positivos y las oportunidades de mejora. ------- ¿Qué significa Toastmasters? Toastmasters es una palabra en inglés que se podría traducir como "el maestro del brindis", dado que "Toast" se traduce como brindar, hace referencia a esas personas que están en un evento social y se les pide realizar un brindis delante de todos los asistentes. Hoy en día usamos el término para referirnos a la persona que dirige toda la sesión de la noche. ------- ¿Cuantas personas asisten cada noche? Entre 20 a 50 personas, depende el día. ------- A mí me da mucho miedo hablar en público, levantar la mano y pasar al frente, ¿Puedo asistir solo para ver cómo funciona? Sí, tranquil@, no te obligamos a hablar frente a la cámara, la idea es que vuelvas, sabemos los nervios que se producen cuando hablas frente a un público. Todos estuvimos alguna vez como invitados y volvimos. ------- ¿Qué experiencia tienen los oradores del Club? Tenemos toda clase de personas en el grupo, desde los que están empezando y llevan menos de un mes, hasta los que llevan 5 años. ------- Dos preguntas que nos hacen constantemente y nos saca una buena sonrisa :) 1. ¿Son una empresa multinivel? No, jajaj enserio No. 2. ¿Quién es el profesor que dicta las conferencias? No tenemos profesores, no hacemos conferencias, ni nada por el estilo. Nosotros mismos nos calificamos y avanzamos en el programa académico que fue creado por la sede internacional de Toastmasters. ------- -Tienes otra pregunta no dudes en escribirnos-

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Dinner and dancing

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat! Note: Since the weather is unpredictable in April, we have a couple of places in mind for the Pot Luck. We have reserved a room in the Dublin Library from 1-2:30 PM for the meal, if necessary. \* But if the weather is nice on April 12th, we are planning to meet in Bridge Park, possibly in the covered shelter area at 12:00 Noon. We will update the details closer to the date of the Pot Luck but wanted to get this out to everyone so that you can make plans for that day.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

Ciao a tutt\*! Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (**Tremont** Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
