Greetings to all!!
My name is North. I know some of you from a German Stamtish some months ago. I have been talking with Fulgen about organizing an English (Conversation) Club in where we can practice our oral English. In the meetings we can have:
- Debates (like the advantages of transgenic beer or the basics of creating a new religion xD).
- Cine forums.
- Games based on speech.
- Everyday chat.
- Role play games.
- Anything that the attendants come up with (whatever permit us to talk English in a fun way ^^)
I'm about to reserve a room in Yesqueros place, where we can meet every week or every two weeks. Why in Yesqueros and not in a bar? Well, my experience with the "Erasmus Coffees" I have been organizing during these years showed the following advantages:
- No smoking! It's really a pleasure to return home and have no smoke smell all over your body... :)
- We can make there a wider range of activities (for instance, we can use the projector and the like).
- Easier to talk and to listen. In a bar there is a critical mass of about 5-6 people for which everybody can listen to everybody else. In case of 8+ people, it's impossible to listen a central conversation, and the people start talking only with the people beside them.
- It's gratis! (yes, the word exists xD). You don't have to feel forced to buy anything in order to talk English for a while.
- It's easier to be known by other people and increase assistance, as long as Yesqueros is a very active social meeting point.
Anyway, we can test it for a few months, and see if it works. If we like it, we continue with it. Else, we can rearrange the meetings in a bar or wherever. The important thing right now is to form a conversation group. :)
I suggest beginning the meetings every first and third Thursday of the month, from 20.00 to 22.00 in Yesqueros. Please feel free to suggest in the comments whatever day or hour is suitable for you, and we can arrange the meetings for what is best for the majority (if availabe in Yesqueros). You can make tell your opinion about:
- Which name would you like to have for the activity? English Club? Conversation Club? English, We Speak? The Murcian-English Dark Sect?
- How often? Once per week? Once per month? Once per life? xD
- What time is best for you? (Yesqueros closes at 22.00).
- We can reserve the first day to talk about the possible activities, but you can suggest right now if inspiration strikes you ;)
I need two DNIs photocopies for reserving the place (plus mine, of course).
See you!

Good Idea
but no car, too far away
I would really like to participate
but my available time covers Tuesdays (not morning), Fridays and weekends.
I wish someone else matchs up with my schedule!
Lol!!!! Very funny. People should be talk about their own schedule. I wouldn´t have problem to assist. I don´t mind fridays but, first of all is TO START!!!
Good work North, count on me
Hi North, I'm interested but thursday is a problem for me, maybe I'd be free on Fridays at same time or before. But the most important is to start as Fulgen has said.
Hi everybody.
I think is a good idea but my level of English isn´t as good as yours, anyway, if you don't mind I would like to participate (because I need some practice ;))
I'm available from 20:30 and I don´t mind the day.
Of course you can come, Juan. Everybody is welcomed ^^
I will ask about Friday's availability, but I believe it's harder to reserve on weekends.
what a great idea...
I wish I were there... ):
so, good luck with all the staff!!!
It´s so nice to heard that kind of activities... I am quite sure that it is going to be a wonderful experience... enjoy with it!!!
hugs ^^
if you arrange any activity on line, coun on me!!! Ü
Why don't we just start "dating" at the EOI before or after lessons and then, when we know how much of us are going to meet, and then we decide an hour and a place?
I go every teusday from 19.30 to 21.00 ( I 'go' on-line) but I'm likely to change my schedule.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
anyway, as I study in la Merced, I can easily go any afternoon or evening you prefer
just tell me
Matilde, not a bad idea. The thing is that I would like this club not to be an EOI-only activity. I would like that a lot of different people comes to this club, so I think that a neutral place such a Yesqueros is a good place to start :)
