**Ton français est rouillé ? Dein Deutsch könnte etwas Übung vertragen? ¿Hace tiempo que no hablas español? Il tuo italiano è un po’ arrugginito?** *Rejoins-nous pour notre picnic d'échange linguistique! Komm zu unserem Language Exchange Picnic! Ven a practicar Espanol con nosotros! Vieni al nostro picnic di scambio linguistico! :)* Before moving the event back to our beloved bar SisyFass for cozy autumn vibes, we’ll host one more language exchange picnic in the park! This time featuring four language blankets: **German, Spanisch, French and Italian**! This event offers a relaxed environment to practice your language skills while meeting new people. Whether you’re improving your German or perfecting your Spanish, Italian or French, our language exchange picnic the perfect opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with fellow learners and native speakers. **Event Details:** * **Location:** Monbijou Park in Mitte, close to the tram station "Monbijouplatz" (more or less here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/a8d8GjyVmEdPaec7A) * **Date & Time:** Thursday, 24th September, 18:30 – Open End * **Fee:** Free participation * **What to bring:** Bring a blanket to sit on, a drink, a snack and your friends (also the furry ones!) if you like! * **Host:** The event will be hosted by **Laura**! **How It Works:** * Focused on German, Spanish, Italian and French – all levels are welcome, with a target range of **A2–B2**. * We encourage also **native speakers of Spanish/French/Italian** to join, enjoy a chat in their native language and practice their German – a great opportunity to find a Tandem partner! * Depending on the blanket you sit on, we will speak French, Spanish, Italian or German. There will be some **conversation starters**, but feel free to chat about whichever topics feels right! * **Change to another blanket** whenever you like . **FAQs:** * **I’m interested in practicing German/French/Spanish/Italian but don’t speak the other language. Can I still participate** Yes, you’re welcome to join even if one language is stronger for you. However, the goal is to create a tandem environment between German, Spanish, Italian and French, so it’s ideal if you have some knowledge of at least two of the languages. * **My proficiency isn’t very high, but I’d like to participate. Is this event suitable for me?** Absolutely! This event is all about practicing and connecting, so all skill levels are encouraged. Just keep in mind that the focus is on German, Spanish, Italian and French. * **As the event takes place in a park – is there a toilet nearby?** Good news for tiny bladders (no shame!) – there is a public toilet close to our meeting point. Make sure to bring some change for the donation box. * **What if the weather su\*\*s?** If the forecast will be very bad, we will relocate to a bar nearby the park. We'll share the new location at least 4 hours before the event starts. We are manifesting a sunny late summer evening though 🌞! **Nous nous réjouissons à l'avance de passer une soirée fantastique d'échange linguistique! Wir freuen uns auf einen schönen Abend mit Euch! Ojala verte este jueves! Non vediamo l'ora di trascorrere una bella serata con voi!**

Attention!! Due to a "Betriebsausflug" (the PIM makes a trip) the Sprachcafé has to be cancelled this week. We will see you next week on October 1st! Have a wonderful week everyone! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\. 3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.
