In these encounters people have the chance to chat and make friends while making a practice of the language in comfortable surroundings where experiences and ideas can be shared freely.

Every meeting becomes an opportunity to enjoy a social event that's is both fun and useful to practice languages and meet people face to face.

Meeting for Thursday, Nov. 19th 2009

 This Thursday Horacio T will bring a short excerpt part of Act I Scene 3 of Hamlet to read and discuss. It is not difficult and there will be copies.

See the the link for a general comment on Hamlet. You may find more information in google.

THIS ABOVE ALL

(from HAMLET,  ADVICE  FROM POLONIUS TO HIS SON LAERTES )

 

And these few precepts in thy memory

See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,

Nor any unproportioned thought his act.

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,

Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel,

But do not dull thy palm with entertainment

Of each new-hatched unfledged comrade. Beware

Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in

Bear’t, that the opposed may beware of thee,

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

For the apparel oft proclaims the man;

And they in France of the best rank and station

Are of a most select and generous chief in that.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be

For loan oft loses both itself and friend

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry,

This above all, to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man

Museum's Night
