Last reminder: AFTER WORK STAMMTISCH #118

Do you also have triple-w questions:

What, where and when?

It is the open get-together for everyone who is interested in practising their English skills.

We meet in the cosy foyer of the Pentahotel in Brunswick (Braunschweig), Lower Saxony in Germany.

6th February 2024, between 7:00 and 8:30 pm

 

(Wir freuen uns immer, wenn Interessenten sich mindesten einen halben Tag vor dem Stammtischtreffen (12 Uhr) unverbindlich anmelden, damit wir zusammen mit dem freundlichen Personal des Pentahotels die Sitzplätze reservieren können.

Hinweise zur Teilnahme an Veranstaltungen von ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL: Die Veranstaltung ist kostenlos und es gibt keine Verpflichtungen. Getränke oder Snacks werden nicht von ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL erstattet. Bestellungen müssen über das nette Personal des Veranstaltungsortes laufen. Auch wenn der Netzwerk-Gedanke beim Stammtisch im Vordergrund steht und das Knüpfen von Kontakten gern gesehen wird, so ist es unerwünscht, den Stammtisch zum Werben für Konkurrenz zu ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL zu missbrauchen.)

Happy New Year 2024!

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something. Neil Gaiman

Let’s meet at Brunswick’s Christmas Market!

The next After Work Stammtisch (No. 117) is going to take place on the first Tuesday in December 2023 – 5th December 2023. Following „the same procedure as every year“ our venue is in front of the Ferris wheel at 7:00 pm. After walking around Brunswick’s Christmas Market in small groups, we will all meet again in front of the Ferris wheel to talk about what exciting items one might have bought and what one has planned to do for Christmas this year. They have the best mulled beer right in front of our meeting place as well as tasty children´s punch which is basically non-alchoholic mulled beer, so … CHEERS! … till round about 8:30 pm.

After this evening’s lively AFTER WORK STAMMTISCH discussions about this special building in Pattersen, between Hannover and Hildesheim, we would like to share some of the information we gathered:

Some say this castle is to become the „Neuschwanenstein des Nordens“ – „Neuschwanenstein of the North“.

Neues Jahr, neues Glück! New year, new luck?
ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL freut sich schon sowohl mit bekannten als auch mit noch unbekannten Menschen zusammenzuarbeiten, um die zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation zu fördern und zu fordern. Um in einem neuen Jahr Platz für neues zu schaffen, muss man vielleicht alte Gewohnheiten loswerden…

Fear Furcht
Self-doubt Selbstzweifel
Negative people Negative Menschen
Perfectionism Perfektionismus
Procrastination Prokrastination
Lack of focus Mangelnder Fokus
Limited beliefs Begrenzte Überzeugungen
Comfort zone Komfortzone
Comparison Gegenüberstellung
Lack of action Untätigkeit
