Wish I could enjoy something similar here in Brazil.....in fact, my jealousy is healthy.....that kind of fair could be held here as the main sport events of the world will be going on here in the next years....therefore, a huge opportunity to make many Brazilians aware of importance of languages from now on.

Doviende, I'll be happy to meet up.
By the way, I just posted a list of language stores in Berlin to the Bookstores subforum. Have a look! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am intending to come to Berlin linguaexpo in November. If you wish to arrange a rendevous, I would like to attend. If you have free accomodation available, that would be even better!

Very nice event! I can't make it this time, but I'm thinking to go next year!
Which one is more interesting? The Berlin one or the Prague one? Maybe there are more members I could meet in Berlin? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

FM Moltke, you can stay here then, just give me the details of when you'll arrive when you know them. I'm looking forward to practising languages with you!
Anybody else coming to Berlin? This thread has become a list of who is not coming, but there are some who said maybe... Starst, afaik the Berlin one is much more interesting, as it's more diverse. Also, in Prague you won't be able to understand much, as most of the mini courses and most of the materials you can get from the stands are in the local language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

NEWS: The Deutsche Bahn (Germany's national train company) just announced that on November 9th, between 18:57 and 3 o'clock the next day, they will sell all national tickets for 20 EUR each, so 40 EUR round-way.
At this price and free lodging, I expect all German forum members to come, as well as anybody living close enough to the border. Let's have a party! (Anybody up for renting a private room at a Chinese karaoke bar one of the nights?) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

there's Chinese karaoke in Berlin? Do they actually have Chinese songs available? I probably still know most of the words to "中国话" by s.h.e. ;)
Is there a big Chinese population in Berlin? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are several places offering Chinese Karaoke, mostly for the resident Asians. Most of the songs are in Chinese, Japanese, English or Korean. They also have some in German and in Thai. I don't like to sing in public, but I do think it's fun to do karaoke with friends, that's why I love Chinese-style karaoke. I don't think there are that many Chinese people in Berlin, but also there are not many Indians in all of Germany, yet there are 8 Indian restaurants within walking distance of my home. Similar count for Vietnamese. Berlin is the biggest city in Germany, it just has lots of everything, and it's a lot more open to new ideas than the rest of Germany is. For example, Thai food is incredibly exotic where I come from, but in Berlin you can get frozen Thai food in non-Asian supermarkets. Nobody heard of Mango Lassi where I come from, but in Berlin every Asian restaurant and even some Turkish fast-food places offer it. There is no Go (ancient Asian strategy game) club within 30km of where I come from, but there are several Go groups meeting every day in Berlin. It's heaven.
