We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink. Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts.

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:30 -7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see gmaps link!) 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Kerb food court. 🪑: Reserved tables for the meetup. 💸: 20 % discount for the drinks if we are at least 15 people! **1.) How to the find Quartier 205 Stadtmitte:** [https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA](https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA) The exact meeting spot can be seen in the photo below! We meet on the 1st floor where the trash sculpture can be seen. Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court** The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb food court. **3\. How to find the Kerb food court** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7) Kerb is located at the former Sony Center. The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left). ***Best ways to get there:*** 1\. U2 \(subway\): Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk around 7 min to Kerb. 2\. Bus M41 or M85 Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk 5 min to Kerb. *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Internationals who want to practice German or any other language\. 2\. Germans who want to improve their language skills\. 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\. *important:* This event is at the same time and meeting location like the "Asian Languages & Culture Exchange 🍜日本語, 한국어, 汉语🍥" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list. *** 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.

!!! Note the corrected meeting spot, which for some reason keeps getting changed in the event: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/L8SuKJxoLLa8hXCdA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/L8SuKJxoLLa8hXCdA) \-\-\- **Mandarin Learner Meetup in Berlin! *(Free resources below)*** **Learning Mandarin is like trying to tame a** 🐲**.** It can feel frustrating, but you’re not alone. **[WeHanzi](wehanzi.com)** is here to support! **[WeHanzi](wehanzi.com)** is an independently built iOS app created by Ben and Gina. We've turned the entire learning experience into ***Comprehensible Input* through both simplified and traditional manga** with support for **Zhuyin**, **Pinyin**, **flashcards**, **audio**, **direct translation**, an integrated dictionary. We also specifically design region-specific language to reflect real-life usage in both **mainland Chinese Mandarin** and **Taiwanese Mandarin**, allowing you to naturally compare and explore the differences between the two, so you don’t end up saying something that makes perfect sense in Beijing, but gets you funny looks in Taipei 😏. Now, together with our good friend Matthias from **[Gemeinsam Chinesisch & Deutsch lernen](https://www.meetup.com/gemeinsam-mandarin-chinesisch-und-deutsch-lernen/events/308204343/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events),** we’re inviting you to our very first **in-person Mandarin Learner Meetup in Berlin** together! All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced learners. Just come hang out, share your stories, laugh at our tone mistakes! As a community, we can learn from each other and turn Mandarin into a piece of cake! 🍰 **Come and join us!** 📱 App: [Wehanzi.com](https://wehanzi.com/) 📸 Free bite-sized resources: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/wehanzi/) 📚 More free tools: [wehanzi.app/menu](https://wehanzi.app/menu) **📍ABOUT THE MEETING SPOT** Please note that we will meet HERE, on the 3 wooden tree benches slightly left of the main entrance gate of Tempelhofer Feld: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/L8SuKJxoLLa8hXCdA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/L8SuKJxoLLa8hXCdA) We'll meet at the meeting spot first and then - depending on the weather - decide as a group to either walk around Tempelhofer Feld or go to a closeby restaurant to warm up and chat. So please be on time. Or if you are running late or can't find us, just give Matthias a call on 0176-21984345. See you all soon, Gina & Matthias

Ciao a tutti! For our event we would like to meet you at 17:00 and have a beer all together, or other drinks. The goal of our first meeting is to get to know eachother and practice Italian and German. Please don’t be afraid that your language skills might not be sufficiently good or that you are a beginner. We understand that learning languages is a difficult and long journey. We don’t tolerate discrimination. We don't tolerate any aggressive or weird attitude. This has to be a Place of Comfort zone for everyone :) Please be respectful and kind with the others! PS: you can find us on the pool table area usually, if not just ask to the bar area for the reservation on the name "Claudio" A presto, bis bald Claudio Ich hoffe dass wir bald uns sehen!

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? **Bring a laptop** and/or anything you’d like to work on, whether it’s a personal project, an experiment, or a skill you want to learn. You can come with friends or meet new people here. There’s no set agenda: some people code, some sketch ideas, some collaborate, and others just chat and get inspired. SCHEDULE Doors open at noon, then we’ll have quick introductions so everyone can share what they’re planning to work on.

Um Harmonie zu erlangen arbeiten Sie mit Ihrem Herzen, anstatt mit Ihrem Gehirn. Hallo hoch geschätzte Wanderlustige und Freunde der deutschen und englischen Sprachen, haben Sie ein frohes Weihnachten gehabt? ZEIT (SPAZIERGANG) \~2 Stunden, (Mit Pausen), wenn wir mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 2,5 Meilen pro Stunde laufen. ZEIT (VERANSTALTUNG) \~2,5 - 3 Stunden. Wir begrüßen uns um 14 Uhr bei Oslo Kaffebar, Eichendorffstraße 13, 10115. Wir unterhalten uns auf Deutsch und Englisch für eine halbe Stunde bis eine Stunde damit jedes Mitglied ohne Hetze ankommen dürfte. Männer, bitte kaufen Sie Kuchen oder Ähnliches damit die Gruppe wie keine geizige Gruppe zu sein anscheint. Heute beschreibe ich nur den Begrüßungsplatz, seit man immer sehr fleißig sein muss, über einen ganzen Wanderweg jedes Mal zu schreiben. Also, wir begrüßen uns, und den Wanderweg empfehle ich, und es kann sein, dass wir den Weg gleich zusammen bestimmen. Poetry & Puls setzt sich den Zweck den Armut betroffenen Personen durch die kalte Jahreszeiten zu helfen. Sozialhilfe in Verbindung mit Sprachtraining ist unser Zweck. Wir sind begeistert Leuten, die wenig platt gewesen sind, bei Spaziergängen zu begleiten. Leute, die aus unbelebten Dörfer stammen, oder neben der Eisenbahn wohnen, können sich manchmal fühlen wie die Großstadt sehr lärmig sein kann, und wie durch den Lärm und Kälte des Winters den Atem eventuell erstickt werden könnte. Durch die kälteste Zeiten ist es am Wichtigsten, dass wir für unsere Beweglichkeit sorgen. Wenn wir wenig platt gewesen sind, sollen wir eine Ruhepause von zu viel Spaß bei YouTube oder soziale Medien haben um Schwung zu erhalten. Um Harmonie zu erlangen arbeiten Sie mit Ihrem Herzen, anstatt mit Ihrem Gehirn. Wir sollen erst unsere Wohnungen für wenige Stunden einfach verräumen um unsere Körper zu betätigen. Dann kommen wir durch die kalten Zeiten. Spaziergänge sind immer schön, und etwas in der Natur der Stadt und in den Parks wirkt, also keiner Spaziergang ist gleich zu einem Anderen. Wir sollen denn die Bäume der Stadt schätzen. Es gibt immer etwas neues zu bewundern, egal ob den Pfad gleich ist. Die Stadt kann lärmig sein, jedoch gibt es sonnige Tage den ganzen Winter durch. Wir müssen nur Dankbarkeit für die gute Tage haben Auftakt zu erhalten. Wenn Sie auch so eine soziale Sorgfalt für Armut betroffene Leute haben, bitten wir Sie unsere Gruppe zu fördern. Uns zu fördern müssen Sie nur Mitglied bei einem Spaziergang sein, und gleich zusammen Fröhlichkeit mit uns haben. „Fröhlichkeit ist nur echt, wenn wir sie gleich anwesend zusammen haben.“ - Christopher McCandless (Into The Wild) Bitte nehmen Sie Kommunikation mit uns durch die Signal Gruppe auf: [https://signal.group/#CjQKIBTrh2sYFm3OGDi4r40tkgKiUyVPfvcwu31zIEsEScSxEhAI7mF8oDKHqZwLobqmW73_](https://signal.group/#CjQKIBTrh2sYFm3OGDi4r40tkgKiUyVPfvcwu31zIEsEScSxEhAI7mF8oDKHqZwLobqmW73_) Auf die Gesellschaft, das Gespräch auf Deutsch und Englisch, und den Spaziergang!!! Versäumen Sie nichts! Übrigens: kleine Gruppen sind besser, denn wir die andere Mitglieder besser kennenlernen können und eine größere Möglichkeit echte Freundschaften aufzubauen haben.

Join us for another session of our study group as we dive into the fascinating world of Large Language Models (LLMs) using the book **Build a Large Language Model from Scratch** from Manning. In this session, we will finish **Chapter 7: Fine-tuning to follow instructions**. In the last session, we talked about how to prepare the dataset for instruction fine-tuning and in this session we will perform the fine-tuning and evaluate the model afterwards. This isn't just a lecture! Come ready to ask questions, share insights, and code along. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this is the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation together. If you plan to work with the code on your own laptop during the session, try and set-up the environment ahead of time (https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/tree/main/setup). We will be meeting at the North County Governmental Center this time that is across from the Reston public library.

**FOR BEGINNERS** If you've ever seen Korean movies or K-dramas, you may have seen some characters play with small red cards decorated with flowers and animals. Those cards are called "hwatu" or flower cards. The most popular game played with hwatu is "Go-Stop". Come to the inaugural meeting of Hwatu Hangout, and learn how to play this awesome game. It can take some time to orient yourself with the cards and rules, but once you do, there's no turning back. It's major fun. **FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS** No Tazza-style deck rigging or hand chopping. Most importantly, no gambling. We may play with plastic chips to raise the faux stakes, but that's it! If you'd like to skip the lesson/demo, then please arrive at 2p for game play. **THE PLAN** **1:00p - 1:30p**: Learn how to play **1:30p - 2:00p**: Demo Game **2:00p - 4:00p**: Game play Before attending, please complete [this interest form](https://forms.gle/BNyZuZSZBzmDKQNA7). I will bring some hwatu decks, but please bring a deck if you have one. Questions? Send an email to hwatuhangout (at) gmail (dot) com Hope to see you there! Eunice
