The more the merrier

Three days ago the club came to life with a loud and chaotic opening session. No less than 13 people attended the first meeting of the season, which is quite encouraging and startling at the same time. When we moved to this fantastic bar last year, we started off in the smallest possible room. One year passed and we ended up in the backmost room where all these people could sit around a long table comfortably.

What if the number of visitors keeps rising? We have already hired a bunch of highly skilled economists and mathematicians to calculate probable outcomes of this tendency. It’s not that we dislike the increasing popularity of our club, but – and now comes the serious part – if we go on like this, we will have to consider making changes to the agenda to make it fit a generally bigger group of visitors. We will see.

This time we did not yet have any topics prepared. The plan was to sit down together and discuss recommendations. All thirteen people introduced themselves in two and a half sentences for the sake of the newcomers. (Balázs either said twenty sentences or used lots of commas.) We also played a brief catch-up game in which everyone had to tell us about one of their best and one of their worst experiences from the past two months.

From the next session onwards the one and only, the original, the genuine, the peculiar TAKE FIVE routine will keep the discussion on track with the usual warm-up questions, the colored envelopes, and the ever-amusing games. Keep in mind that we gladly take your recommendations both regarding the topics and the games. Feel free to harrass us on Facebook. See you on February 26!

Special thanks to Kla for the photos! Check out her photography, and our Facebook for a few more photos from Thursday.

Winter Course, 2015

February 1, 2015: We spent a long day with a group of enthusiastic English learners (A2 and B2 levels). The daily menu contained amusing introductory games, a bit of grammar practice, translation, whodunnit, and gap-filling listening exercises. For dessert, we offered short “Awkward Situation” scenes written and performed by the teachers themselves. This was only the first intensitve English course for 2015. Stay tuned until the next two-day summer course!
