🇨🇳🇫🇷 Événement d'échange linguistique franco-chinois 🗓 Chaque vendredi 🕖 De 19h00 à 22h30 📍 Adresse : 47 rue au maire 75003 Paris Bonjour à tous ! Vous souhaitez améliorer vos compétences en français ou en chinois ? Rejoignez-nous pour notre événement hebdomadaire d'échange linguistique franco-chinois ! Ici, vous aurez l'opportunité de rencontrer des locaux, de nouer de nouvelles amitiés et de vous immerger dans un échange culturel riche et dynamique. Voici le déroulement de la soirée : 🍽 De 19h00 à 19h40 : Dîner en groupe (optionnel) et discussion Venez dîner dans un restaurant chinois (frais à votre charge) en compagnie des autres participants afin de faire connaissance et de discuter ensemble. 🗣 De 19h40 à 22h20 : Sessions d'échange linguistique À 19h40, nous formerons des groupes de discussion de trois personnes. Actuellement, en raison du nombre plus élevé de participants chinois, les groupes seront composés de deux personnes parlant chinois et d'une personne parlant français. Étant donné que la plupart des participants chinois ont un niveau intermédiaire ou avancé en français, les groupes de trois personnes permettent des échanges moins gênants et une participation équilibrée de chacun. Chaque groupe passera 20 minutes à converser dans une langue, puis 20 minutes dans l'autre. ⏱ Durant toute la soirée : Toutes les 40 minutes, vous aurez la possibilité de changer de table ou de modifier le nombre de participants dans votre groupe. Cet événement est entièrement gratuit, à l'exception de vos dépenses pour les boissons. Nous avons hâte de vous rencontrer ! **🇨🇳🇫🇷 法中语言交流活动** **🗓 每周五 🕖 下午7:00 - 10:30** **📍 地址： 47 rue au maire 75003 巴黎** **大家好！** **想要提高你的法语或中文语言技能吗？加入我们每周一次的法中语言交流活动吧！在这里，你将有机会结识当地人，交新朋友，并沉浸在丰富多彩的文化交流中。** **以下是活动的具体安排：** **🍽 下午7:00 - 7:40：小组晚餐（可选）和讨论** **在中餐馆享用晚餐（费用自理），与其他参加者一起用餐，互相了解认识。** **🗣 下午7:40 - 10:20：语言交流会话** **在7:40 PM，我们将分成三人小组进行讨论。目前情况下，由于中文参与者较多，我们将分成两名中文讲者和一名法文讲者的小组。同时，由于大多数中文参与者的法语水平达到中级或以上，三人小组的话容易避免尴尬的同时，每个人也都能很好地参与到对方。每个小组将花费20分钟使用一种语言交谈，然后再切换到另一种语言进行20分钟的交谈。** **⏱ 活动期间：** **每40分钟，您将有机会更换桌子或向您的小组添加或者减少人数。** **此活动完全免费，您只需自行支付饮品费用。** **我们期待着与您见面！**

Object writing weekly group practice as taught in Write Better Lyrics by Pat Pattinson. We can also practice other exercises from the book or from other resources in the same vein. Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. Then a 5 min timer each to take turn sharing.

Aussi, assurez-vous, je vous prie de vos intentions de participation. Bonnes et belles lectures et écritures et à bientôt ! Jélila

Vous avez un business en ligne ? Un site internet ? Une boutique shopify ? Des produits sur Amazon ? Ou sinon, vous avez une idée, un projet ? Venez alors nous rejoindre pour 4 heures de "Deep Work" dans le café de la péniche Annette K. Le Deep Work repose sur l'élimination (ou, à défaut, la réduction) des tâches qui ne sont pas essentielles pour rester concentré sur ce qui est important. Sachez que nous ne pouvons pas être au maximum de notre efficacité pendant plus de 3 ou 4 heures par jour! Nous travaillerons sur un nombre de séances définies ⏰ 💻 (50min, 45min, 40min, 35min, 30min, 40min): Total = 4 heures; avec des petites pauses de 10min entre les séances Pendant les pauses, nous nous échangerons sur principaux défis de l'entrepreneuriat, les challenges de chacun, comment les surmonter, comment vendre plus, comment scaler son business, etc. À bientôt! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Do you have an online business? A website ? A Shopify store? Products on Amazon? Or simply an idea, a project that you'd like to work on? Then come and join us for 4 hours of "Deep Work" at the coffee shop of the boat Annette K. Deep Work relies on eliminating (or failing that, reducing) non-essential tasks to stay focused on what's important. Keep in mind that we cannot be at our maximum efficiency for more than 3 or 4 hours a day! During the breaks, we will discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, the challenges that each one of us is facing, how to overcome them, how to sell more, how to scale your business, etc. See you soon!

Le premier samedi de chaque mois, la communauté du Libre parisienne propose une install-party (Ubuntu et d'autres distributions GNU/Linux), des conférences et ateliers.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.

Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

The topic for January is "Chemistry" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
