Dear Sprechbaristas,
Yesterday’s meeting revolved around the fascinating topic of traveling for business and leisure. 🤓 A quick note on pronunciation: UK /ˈleʒ.ər/ versus US /ˈliː.ʒɚ/.
Highlights of the Evening:
- Icebreaker Speech: Katharina (Best Prepared Speech) impressed us by showing how efficiency and a touch of laziness can lead to mastering a new language while spending six months abroad. 🌐✨
- Guest Speaker Anne shared her experiences from a business trip to India, giving us insights into cultural differences in business presentations and daily life beyond the meeting room. 🇮🇳📊
- Impromptu Speeches: Sarah B. challenged our speakers with engaging topics on traveling:
- Mario (Best Table Topic Speech) debated between exploring temples in Cambodia 🛕 and savoring culinary adventures in Vietnam. 🍜
- Christian K. shared a philosophical perspective on where he’d like to be reborn.
- Guest Marina reflected on moving her residency for her dream job.
- Kristof explained how modern technology has revolutionized his travel experiences.
Word of the Evening: „wiggle room“ – expertly used by Christian K. 👏
Evaluations: Christian B., Anne-Kathrin (Best Evaluation Speech), and Christian K. provided thoughtful feedback on both prepared and impromptu speeches, enhancing our communicative abilities and public speaking skills.
A heartfelt thank you from me, Toastmaster of the Evening (Hammer Award 🛠), to all speakers, evaluators, and participants for making the evening such a success! 🎉
