Communication Fitness auf Deutsch
Wed, Aug 19, 4:30 PMYou live in Berlin. You can follow conversations in German, but speaking is still slow, stressful or limited. You search for words, simplify your thoughts, avoid longer conversations or automatically switch to English. **Communication Fitness auf Deutsch** is a 2.5-hour live communication workout for adults who want to finally use the German they already know. **This session: Self-Introduction** How do you answer “Tell me about yourself” without sounding rehearsed, confused or much less interesting than you actually are? During this session, you will practise introducing yourself clearly and naturally in German in different situations: at work, while networking and in everyday conversations. You will not memorise one perfect speech. You will build flexible versions that sound like you and work in real conversations. **What you will practise** * introducing yourself in 30–60 seconds; * choosing what is relevant in different situations; * speaking clearly without overexplaining; * sounding natural instead of memorised; * asking and answering follow-up questions; * reacting spontaneously when the conversation changes. **This is not a traditional German class.** No grammar drills. No vocabulary tests. No awkward free-form networking. You train real communication through structured exercises, guided conversations, timed challenges and game mechanics. The format tells you who to speak with and what happens next. You do not need to approach strangers, invent small talk or perform on a stage. Most exercises take place in pairs and small groups. You will speak with several different participants during the evening. Every conversation has a clear task, so you can focus on speaking instead of wondering what to say. **Why Communication Fitness?** Many international people live in Berlin for years but still spend most of their time speaking English or their native language. You may understand more and more German, but speaking does not improve automatically. It needs regular live practice, just like physical fitness. **Communication Fitness** creates a structured space where you can train communication in real time, with real people, in German. **This event is for adults who:** * live in Berlin; * understand German approximately from B1 level; * understand more than they can currently say; * often switch to English or their native language; * want to communicate more confidently at work and in everyday life; * want practical speaking experience rather than another grammar lesson. **You do not need perfect German.** You do need enough German to understand instructions and participate in simple conversations. **This event is not suitable for complete beginners.** **What you can expect** * short practical input from the host; * several rounds of guided speaking practice; * different conversation partners; * exercises in pairs and small groups; * clear structure throughout the evening; * meaningful new contacts without conventional networking; * a better understanding of what currently blocks your German. Nobody will unexpectedly call you onto a stage or test your grammar in front of the group. **Date:** 19 August 2026 **Time:** 18:30–21:00 **Location:** Deel, Berlin **Language:** The entire session takes place in German **Ticket:** 25 € **Capacity:** Limited Please arrive 5–10 minutes early so that we can start on time. **Venue Host** We are hosted by **[Deel](https://www.deel.com/?utm_source=luma)**[ ](https://www.deel.com/?utm_source=luma)in their Berlin office.

These evaluations focus on content, delivery, body language, and time management. The goal is to help speakers improve their speaking skills. **Reports and Functionary Roles:** The meeting may include various functionary roles, such as the Timer, Grammarian, Ah-Counter, and others, who report on their observations and contributions to the session. These roles help members improve their language and time management skills. **General Evaluator:** The General Evaluator provides an overall assessment of the meeting, highlighting what went well and offering suggestions for improvement. They may also evaluate the evaluators' performance. **Awards and Recognitions:** Toastmasters sessions often conclude with awards and recognitions, including the Best Speaker, Best Evaluator, and Best Table Topics Speaker. These awards encourage members to strive for excellence in their speaking and leadership abilities. **Closing:** The meeting concludes with closing remarks from the Toastmaster of the Day, who may express gratitude to participants and encourage them to continue their Toastmasters journey. **Networking and Socialising:** After the formal meeting, members and guests often have the opportunity to network, socialise, and discuss their experiences in a more relaxed setting.

Outdoor – Circular route around the Spring- and Glubigsee near Wendisch-Rietz
Sun, Aug 30, 9:00 AM**Outdoor – Forest and lake along the Havel** with ***Harms*** and ***Thomas*** **Free with registration** **Meeting point: 10:45 Uh**r, Ostbahnhof, platform 2, middle of platform **Start: 10:56 a.m.**, RE7 direction Senftenberg **(please be on time – the train only runs hourly)** **Return:** Wendisch Rietz, Bahnhof (RB36) **[Free with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/village-outdoor/w35-2026/)** In August, we’ll head out of the city once more and into the heathland and lake district of eastern Brandenburg near Wendisch Rietz. On this varied circular hike, we’ll explore a chain of elongated lakes in the Behrensdorfer Heide. The quiet and, at times, very secluded trail follows the wooded shores of Lake Springsee and Lake Großer Glubigsee, for much of the route, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. Along the way, we’ll also pass through an interesting wet woodland area, a valuable ecosystem that plays an important role in climate protection and nature conservation. And if the weather is on our side, the many lakeside bathing spots invite us to enjoy a refreshing swim or simply relax by the water. As there are no guaranteed places to stop for food or drinks along the route, please bring enough food and water for the day. Since we’ll be walking through woodland and wetland areas, it’s also a good idea to bring an effective insect repellent. **What’s Village Outdoor?** Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin. Activities include forest hikes, bike tours, swimming in lakes, sightseeing, and kayaking. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport. **General Information** **Be sun smart:** Please dont forget sun screen, a hat and maybe even a long-sleeved shirt. On a hot day, also remember to bring plenty of water. **Language:** Depending on the needs of the group, we will speak German and/or English. **Cost:** The event is free of charge. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‘**queere generationen**‘, unterstützt von der* ***[Berliner Lotto Stifttung](https://www.lotto-stiftung-berlin.de/)****.

Auf einer abwechslungsreichen Rundwanderung entdecken wir die langgezogene Seenkette an der Behrendorfer Heide. Der stille und teilweise sehr abgelegene Wanderweg führt größtenteils entlang der bewaldeten Ufer des Springsees und des Großen Glubigsees und eröffnet immer wieder schöne Blicke auf die Natur. Unterwegs passieren wir außerdem ein interessantes Bruchwaldgebiet, das als wertvolles Ökosystem eine wichtige Rolle für den Klima- und Naturschutz spielt. Und wenn das Wetter mitspielt, laden die zahlreichen Badestellen unterwegs zu einer erfrischenden Abkühlung oder einer entspannten Pause ein. Da unterwegs keine Einkehrmöglichkeiten garantiert sind, denkt bitte an ausreichend Proviant und Getränke. Und weil wir durch Wald- und Feuchtgebiete wandern, lohnt es sich auch ein gutes Mückenschutzmittel dabei zu haben. \*Glubigsee, Photo: Angelika Laslo, License: Seenland Oder-Spree **Was ist Village Outdoor?** Village Outdoor Events sind monatliche Treffen der we are village-Community und ihrer Freunde, um Outdoor-Aktivitäten in und um Berlin zu genießen. Zu den Aktivitäten gehören Waldwanderungen, Radtouren, Schwimmen in Seen, Sightseeing und Kajakfahren.

An einem warmen Tag solltest Du auch genügend Wasser dabei haben. **Sprache:** Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten:** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‘**queere generationen**‘, unterstützt von der* ***[Berliner Lotto Stifttung](https://www.lotto-stiftung-berlin.de/)****.
