Angol, na? isn't just for learning, it's a place where you can use
what you learn. Take a class in pottery or painting or anything,
that just happens to be in english. Good at something and want to
teach others? We can arrange that. What a convenient way to
practice ; ) Borrow a book, or flop in a chair and read in-store, to practice reading and expand your
vocabulary. Play games, socialize. The more you use a language,
the more easily it sticks.
We don't have a coffee machine yet, so until we do feel free to
bring your own.
Take-a-book Leave-a-book
Reading is a good thing. So we're leaving a box outside so people
can trade their books. For free. It will be most effective if
everyone leaves something when they take something, but when you've
gotta read you've gotta read. If you don't have a book to trade,
just drop it back when you're done. If
you've got books you just don't read anymore and want to leave them,
grateful readers would appreciate your generosity. If it's raining,
hailing, sleeting, or otherwise book damaging weather, the box will
be just inside the door. At least, unless you're good at carpentry
and want to help us build a proper outdoor box ; )
The Library
Mystery, thrillers, classics, young adults to old, fiction and non,
it's a little library but a thoughtful one. Learn how to do
magic tricks or ballroom dance, ponder poetry or pick up a volume
that makes you laugh. Book for almost every level. Here are a few of
my favorites to tempt you :
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe : C.S. Lewis
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory : Roald Dahl
It was like this... : Eva Janikovszky
How to Fossilize your Hampster
Reader's Digest Practical Problem Solver
Voyage to the End of the Room : Tibor Fischer
To get a library card, there is a 3.000huf deposit, refundable when
you return the card (as long as you haven't wandered off with a book). Books can be checked out for two weeks. If
you're not finished, bring it back into the hackerspace to renew.
English in Use : Take a class
Courses and availability constantly changing, stop in the hackerspace
to find out what's on now.
We're hoping to organize an 'everyone has something to teach' series. Because
everyone has a skill they can pass on to others, whether it's
scholarly or silly. Want to get involved? Contact Annie
More soon!
