👋 ***Hi, I'm David, I help travelers and expats have confident, real-world conversations in English and Spanish.*** Hola a todos, soy David, me dedico a ayudar a viajeros y expatriados a tener conversaciones naturales y a ganar confianza en inglés y en español. ***I'd like to build a tribe of locals, travelers and expats here.*** Me gustaría construir una comunidad de locales, viajeros y expatriados aquí. ***After several years teaching Spanish to English speakers I realised I could bring them all together and practice in real life scenarios.*** Después de varios enseñando español a angloparlantes me di cuenta de que podía juntarlos para practicar en contextos reales. ***🎯 And that's the entire idea behind this event: We'll explore a local neighborhood, using our surroundings to fuel the conversation and bypass memorized phrases.*** Y esa es la idea de este evento: Exploraremos un barrio local, usando el entorno para inspirar la conversación y dejar de lado las frases memorizadas. ***We don't need to pay for alcohol in a bar to loosen up; the movement and the fresh air give us the confidence to speak.*** No necesitamos pagar por beber alcohol en un bar para soltarnos; movernos al aire libre nos ayudará a hablar con confianza. ***👉 To ensure maximum efficiency and progress, we operate under a 100% immersion: You will speak exclusively in your target language during the entire session.*** Para asegurar la máxima eficiencia y progreso, hacemos una inmersión al 100%: Hablarás exclusivamente en tu idioma objetivo durante toda la sesión. ***By eliminating the option of switching, you gain two critical benefits:*** Al eliminar la opción de cambiar de idioma, consigues dos beneficios clave: ***✅ Agility and speed: You train your brain to stop translating in your head, building the neural shortcuts needed to retrieve words faster and speak with greater flow.*** Agilidad y velocidad: Entrenas a tu cerebro para dejar de traducir en tu cabeza, generando las conexiones neuronales necesarias para encontrar palabras más rápido y hablar con mayor fluidez. ***✅ Real-time output: You force yourself into production mode. This solves the "I know the words, but I can't say them" problem because you must actively use the vocabulary and grammar you know.*** Práctica en tiempo real: Te fuerzas a estar en modo de práctica cotinua. Esto resuelve el problema de "sé las palabras, pero no puedo decirlas" porque tienes que usar activamente el vocabulario y la gramática que ya conoces. ***You will quickly get comfortable with making mistakes. This is the best way to eliminate the fear of speaking in the real world.*** En poco tiempo te sentirás cómodo/a con los errores. Esta es la mejor forma de superar el miedo a hablar en el mundo real. ***Let's get started!***. ¡Vamos! 💪 ### **‼️IMPORTANT:** All real-time updates, exact meeting points, and last-minute cancellations (due to weather or unforeseen circumstances) are posted **ONLY in our WhatsApp group**.

The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you. Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read the activist handbook ‘Emergent Strategy’ by Adrienne Marie Brown. She calls it 'a guidebook for getting in right relationship with change, using our own nature and that of creatures beyond human as our teachers.' This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €1 donation per attendee. You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then you will enjoy this event. We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. WHAT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world. To learn more, visit https://socratescafe.com.

Do you ever regret not approaching someone? It feels like being stuck, but you don't get there by watching more videos on IG of people approaching women. You get there by doing it yourself. Imagine being able to approach anyone anywhere. The freedom. Confidence. And the amazing feeling of knowing that you won't have to stay single or settle, because when the opportunity arise, you know you can take it. But it's hard to do by yourself. It takes time, effort and that extra push might be too difficult for you right now. That's why, this Saturday, Noam and I are going to help you. We'll meet in Plaça de Catalunya at 15:00 and for two hours, we'll help you overcome your fears, anxiety and whatever thoughts that used to hold you back. This is a free event, maybe once in a life opportunity for you if you want to finally be able to walk up to anyone and start a conversation. Once you confirm your attendance, we'll send you the exact location on WhatsApp. You confirm by texting me on Whatsapp (+47 47311664) that you're in on Saturday. Any questions, just write me.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. 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!
