B1 Speaking Practice: “Gemeinsam etwas planen” (Goethe & telc)
Thu, Oct 22, 4:15 PMPreparing for the German B1 exam? Join our first meetup and practice one of the speaking tasks with other learners! In both the **Goethe** and **telc B1** exams, you have to plan something together with a partner, like a birthday party, a trip or a visit to a sick colleague. It’s one of the tasks people find hardest, because you can’t really practice it alone. **What we’ll do:** * Quick intro: how the task works and what examiners look for * Go through an example together, step by step * Practice in pairs with real exam-style tasks, switching partners each round * Share useful phrases (Vorschläge machen, zustimmen, ablehnen…) and tips **Who it’s for:** Anyone preparing for a B1 exam (Goethe or telc), at around A2+/B1 level. No preparation needed, just come as you are. Mistakes are welcome! See you there! 👋
Real Long Term Friendship
Sat, Oct 24, 4:00 PMNice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).
