Language & Culture

Hej allihopa 😀! 📢För nästa mingel har vi återigen det roliga upplägget att prata **både svenska 🇸🇪 och tyska 🇩🇪**. Vi hoppas med detta att nå ut till de som vill konversera på båda dessa språk, vare sig det är ens modersmål eller för att träna på att använda språken. Idén är som vanligt att samtala och ha trevligt! **Första timmen pratar vi enbart svenska och andra timmen pratar vi enbart tyska.** För detta tillfället så träffas vi **söndag 5 juli kl 11:00 ⏰.** Vi träffas på **Café Friedberg** i Kreuzberg för en förmiddagsfika/brunch ☕. Närmaste station är tunnelbanestationen (U-Bahn) Südstern. 📢OBS! Detta tillfälle är alltså på en söndag! Du hittar oss genom den svenska flaggan **(🇸🇪)** vi ställer på bordet! 💬 OBS: Det här är en konversationsgrupp, dvs. du borde redan kunna förstå och prata tillräckligt bra för att aktivt kunna delta i samtalet på svenska och tyska. Tack för din förståelse. Glöm inte att anmäla dig om du vill vara med och avanmäl dig om du inte kan komma trots allt, tack 😊. Ser fram emot att mingla med er, ses där!

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our July gathering, we’ll be reading ***Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas*** by the Brazilian writer **Machado de Assis**. Originally published in 1881, this witty and remarkably modern novel is narrated by Brás Cubas himself — from beyond the grave. Through irony, sharp social observation, and playful philosophical reflections, Machado de Assis creates a narrator who looks back on his life, ambitions, failures, and the society around him with both humor and melancholy. Considered one of the great classics of Brazilian literature, the novel feels surprisingly contemporary in its style and spirit. **📅 Date & Time: Sunday, 05.07.2026 at 14:00** **📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin** **💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after** **the meeting helps cover organization costs** As I mentioned in earlier announcements, due to personal reasons I will not be able to attend a few upcoming meetings. A friend of mine, who also happens to be a great book enthusiast, kindly agreed to moderate and host the gathering during my absence. I truly hope you’ll join me in giving Tereza a very warm welcome and your support. I’m very much looking forward to hearing all about your discussion and to gathering together again soon. Warmly, Sofya
