Meetings

2013-01-08

Around ten people join the meeting. Jay introduces himself as a native English speaker who lives in Europe since ten years. He has some great ideas about what we can do within the workshops: He addresses some common mistakes German-speaking natives make when they speak English and offers to help people with that. For improving vocabulary, he suggests reading dictionaries. We make a list of books we intend to read, collect some useful web links. Jay also suggests that watching films with subtitles can improve language skills. Pepi suggests that playing some games could be helpful, and also there should be some kind of challenge. For example, naming things with their English names when you are out (like in the tram) will improve vocabulary. We decide to meet again in one week and schedule the next meeting for 2013-01-15 19:00
