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

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:30 - 6:45 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see gmaps link!) 2.) 6:45 - 7:15 p.m.: Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court. 3.) 7:15 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Kerb food court. 🪑: Reserved tables for the meetup. **1.) Meeting spot is inside the Berlin Mall (near Hugo Boss)** Click on the map or just copy this link into your browser: [https://goo.gl/maps/oVPKSY7X1YmAVkvv8](https://goo.gl/maps/oVPKSY7X1YmAVkvv8) The exact meeting spot can also be seen in the photo depicted below (see red arrow). Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. ***Best ways to get there:*** 1\. U\-Bahn \(subway\): Get off at Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße (former Mohrenstraße) via U2 and just walk 3 min to the mall. 2\. Bus: If you change at main station you can take the M41 or M85 to S Potsdamer Platz /Voßstr. and walk to the mall. **2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court** The best part of this Meetup! Most of the walk will consist a underground route all the way to the 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.

A dark Stand-up comedy hour in English about surviving the world's most infamous terrorist attack. Edinburgh Fringe critically acclaimed solo hour comes to Berlin! [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1980096481880) Where were you on 9/11? Sitting in school? Sitting on the toilet? Nowhere of note? Well, Sofia May, the other hand, was running—for her life— from the dust cloud and debris as the World Trade Center toppled next to her school in downtown Manhattan and now, as an adult, she's processed a lot of that trauma, continues to grieve, and is ready to get hilarious. In this stand-up comedy solo hour, Sofia May takes the audience on a gruesome comedic journey of her experience as a tween survivor of the history's most outrageous terrorist attack. [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1980096481880) "It’s the kind of story that, on paper, shouldn’t be funny and yet in Sofia’s hands, it absolutely is. Her delivery is fearless, and the material so far beyond the usual stand-up fare that it makes every “dating trauma” or “annoying in-law” anecdote feel laughably trivial." — The Nerd Party "Sofia was a student at the school closest to the towers when they fell on 9/11 and has been in therapy ever since. But this isn’t one of those Edinburgh Fringe sob story shows; it’s an hour of engaging and wickedly dark humour that Sofia navigates with a Cheshire Cat-like grin" — European Comedy Review ___________________ Venue: Hier Wo Du Strahlst (Rosa-Luxembourgstr 20) Doors: 19:00 Showtime: 21:00 - 21:30 ___________________ TICKETS: Online: 9 EUR Door: 12:00 (Cash or card accepted) [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1980096481880) About: Sofia May was born and raised in New York City on Ren and Stimpy and bad boundaries. Her comedy style is dark and whimsical. People often say, “She’s so innocent! Just like O.J. Simpson!”. She has performed all over Europe, in London, NYC, SF, and the Edinburgh Fringe the last 3 years. She performs on a nightly basis in Berlin and produces the weekly show Stand-up at The Shine. Awards: Best Performer at the Edinburgh Fringe - European Comedy Awards Shortlisted Nominee For Best Newcomer - British Comedy Guide's Comedian Choice AwardsReviews: "– and Sofia May, whose charming stage presence suggests the most potential." — The Guardian "She gives off the vibe that she’d give you a hug if you needed it, and while delivering said hug, stick a sign on your back that says a whole bunch of slurs." —European Comedy Review "Sofia May delivers a masterclass in pitch-black comedy." — The Nerd Party "A Stand-out Stand-up" — One4Review [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1980096481880)
