Learn a language - CS/Polyglot meeting September

Event description

  • Date: Sept 26, 2008
  • Time: 20:00
  • Address: Address visible for attendees
  • Couchsurfing

One of the main reasons for learning languages and becoming a  Polyglot member  is an interest in the country and culture where the language being learned is used (except English and Spanish maybe : these are 'international' languages).

On the other hand CS-people are generally interested in other cultures. One of the main characteristics of a culture is the language. So, needless to say that CS'ers are keen on improving their language skills.

So, why not combine the best of both worlds and organise a joined CS/Polyglot meeting ?

The focus is on improving language skills so the aim is to gather a lot of people who speak different languages so we can learn from each other.

For that reason the Antwerp CS/Polyglot-group is organising for the third time this unique event.

Lets come together around 8 o'clock in the evening on Friday, September 26th @ 't Zuiderpershuis in Antwerp.

Hi vincent.



It was OK.

About 12 people attented the meeting. We spoke some Dutch, English, French and learned some basic Hungarian.

There was also a Russian and Brasalian girl but the others weren't really interested in speaking these languages. But I still learned some Brasilian things :-).



Next meeting will be on october, 31 st



A plus tard,

Bruno
