Learn All languages in Kuntsëvo, Russian Federation

AssESSoR on Dec 04, 2008 @ 11:11

Hola! Bonjour! Ciao! =)

The idea of making non-English oriented Polyglot meetings is soaring in the air. A lot of Spanish, French & Italian speakers come to the meetings from time to time but don't meet each other often so we haven't made stable Spanish/French/Italian groups of chatters yet.

Following the thoughts from the air,
let's declare three weeks of December like European languages oriented in that way:
week 2 - Spanish - meetings on 11 & 14 of December
week 3 - French - meetings on 18 & 21 of December
week 4 - Italian - meetings on 25 & 28 of December

Everybody interested in those languages are very welcome
to our gathering & highly encouraged to express their interest in learning and/or helping with studying respective tongues.

Native speakers, fluent speakers, incorrigible learners & complete beginners are welcome -)

Come over on & bring your friends,
any ideas on making those meetings more vivid are appreciated!

Don't hesitate to make the world around you more comprehensible!

Cheers!
Ale

And here's another edition of the Polyglot Meeting Report!!

This is for the meeting held on 6th November, 2008

Interesting discussions on Obama, Financial Crisis, India's moon foray, Sarah Palin and some alleged plots about enslaving squirrels and ripping out their hearts!! Gosh, some girls are really getting rough these days!

We aren't doing much on learning new languages though! But since it is an open format with free-wheeling discusison, we'll let languages beyond Russian and English make a comback on their own. But wouldn't it be nice, living up to the name of the meeting - Polyglot!

Here's the list of participants:

A bit late.... Five days late actually, with the report on the 16th october meeting lost to the historians! Donno how I can aspire to be an organiser of meetings, if I can't organise even myself!

Report for the Polyglot Sunday meeting, 26th October

Met at the Kopyeka No.1, Taganskaya... Which is so much cooler than the one on Nizh Krasnosel'skaya (and not just on account of the faulty main door letting in the freezing breeze that made Anna catch her cold back!)

I thought the Taganskaya Kopyeka was much better than our regular abode, but it is very far off from the metro and so has an entry barrier!

Anyway, enuf of da location report! Here's a list of the participants:

We also had Deric, Liuba, Maria and a few more people who dropped in during the first half and went to the Brazilian Film festival midway. Sorry, couldn't take down their names! I guess the total was about 24-25 ppl, which is a great turnout!

So the event was really good with Fabio learning some of the choicest Russian profanity, topped by Sam's semantics lecture on each word learnt by Fabio.... I hope it didn't scare the newbies, but I rather suspect that the girls who were making faces rather enjoyed it all secretly! (wink, wink)
