I am going to meet up with Junair and Natalia this Friday around lunchtime. I should think we’d meet at Victoria, but haven’t fixed anything definite as yet. I’m torn between dragging them to the touristy bits or towards my favourite bookshop for foreign languages.
It was a great pleasure meeting my first German Russian LingQers (and their delightful daughter). We had an interesting language mix and I was pleased to note that I can understand Russian a million times better than I can speak it.
The ‘Junairs’ said thank you for the good wishes. Here’s my attempt at a Haiku:
Showing others London
seeing delighted faces
I see it with new eyes
There are bound to be other opportunities, lots of LingQers seem to like travelling … Just let us know when you are going to be in London and fancy meeting up.
we are at home now, on our back way we visited Luxembourg and the oldest German town Trier. The meeting in London was really wonderful, we spend a day in the pleasant atmosphere.
Thank you Susanne for your help and this post. Thank you all for taking part in this thread.
In the future I would use any possibility to meet LingQ member.
