Drinks and German language practice

not that i know! also don't know their menu!

but it's easy to find! either walk down goethestraße from goetheplatz or walk same street down coming from hauptbahnhof (bayerstraße)

I want to come too! Can you extend the reservation to fit more people?

okey dokey, we'll squeeze you in

ok, i think with 22 we've reached the max!!

see you all there tomorrow!

I can't make it tomorrow now.
And unfortunately my +2 don't want to go without me.
Sorry to be such a pain, but at least it'll mean you have a bit more space.
I'll definately drag them along next week

Hallo Arwen,

Can I come too since a couple of spots seemed to open up?
I'm in the midst of a Deutsch Kurs and really need to start practicing cause I'm still such a beginner.

Danke,
Dave

Countrygirl: it's a shame you can't make it tonight! hope to see you next time!

Davo: no problem, come along!

hey ho, I am indeed booked as I thought tonight, taking Mannie out for dinner. We realised last night, our little group (who studied together in france) hasn't been complete since Feb 2000! And we are all in MUC tonight, so it has to be done.

Have fun!

Sorry I'm not going to make it this evening, am still not fully moved in, so really want to finish my unpacking and organising, hopefully by the end of this weekend, I can actually call it an apartment. Next time def !

Since a couple people have dropped out, I have invited my German friend Annette and maybe her German friend will come with her too. Some there will be some native speakers to practice with!
See you tonight!

@Blimeygirl

I don't think this place has a website, but have been there several times myself. Food it rly good and reasonably priced. They do things like chicken salads and backed potatoes or bagettes with salad for about €8 and then fish and meat dishes are about €12, also there's quite a nice vegetarian selection. Only one downside and that's that the menu is written in a totally illegible font!

I was interested in coming, but my conversation is limited to what is your name, age, and where do you work and come from. Is that enough speaking skill?

Where is it located at this week, and is there room for 1?

Location: Cafe Beethoven near Goetheplatz.

Situation: I know Gabi booked 22places only...come at your own peril. Maybe there's a seat, maybe not. If all 22 people show up...and you show up late...Then you could be out of luck. I'm not sure how busy they'll be on a Thursday night.

@Julie

There are some advanced speakers...but some beginners such as Tom17 and myself. The more beginners that come the more practice we will get. You always learn something at the event...so it is good for practice and building confidence. When you can't find the words...people will help you. And sometimes it is cool to just listen.

It is a dinner event this week at Cafe Beethoven, Goethestr. 51 (closest to Goetheplatz U-Bahn stop).

Judging by the people signed up it looks like a good mixed group.

If there is no room I am sure you can be squeezed in (as people sometimes register but do not show up).

i know its really really late ... Can i come as well ... what about the reservations for last minute

Some good German practice and interesting conversation last night (but more importantly...a few good laughs as well...!) I can't believe they had Andechser Helles on tap. Perfect!!

I though Cafe Beethoven was a lovely venue...we managed to get a table in the corner, relatively apart from the hoards...food was lovely...if not a bit teuer though...but

Let's go there again sometime!

The above comment was posted by me not by Brendan...sorry BG..you were still logged in at work!

Ok...time to plan the next Stammtisch for Thursday.

As I'm again out of country, Arwen is kindly organising...

7pm Thursday 24th November
Cafe Puck
Türkenstr. 33, Schwabing, Tel. 089 2802280

I'm really missing these get togethers... hope to see you at the next one.

Shaggy.

Yep i will, this time i don't think we need to limit the numbers though!
i'll just go ahead and reserve a table/tables for around 20 people!

so hope to see you all there!!!

Thursday is the 25th. We will have to bow out of these for a while as we have started taking...German lessons!!! Next time we come along hopefully we will be a bit more conversational.

thats a good excuse for not coming

have to suggest a new place for this thursday's (25th of November) stammtisch:

would you all be up for a thanksgiving dinner at the TWISTED BAVARIAN?

same time as usual, only different locations, will try out cafe puck next time then!

I think that's a GREAT IDEA. I never ever thought I'd be celebrating American Thanksgiving speaking German in an Tex-Mex restaurant. OK. I'll be there...improving my pronounciation of 'Das' and 'ist' and 'echt' and 'Scheiße'. See you there.

Sounds like a good idea to me, count me in.

amerikanisches erntedank

so, who else will be there???

Ich werde auch da sein! Really looking fwd to trying out this place! Will other ppl be eating there too? So how exactly do you get to the Twisted Bavarian?

I think Itchy and Scratchy will be coming along too!

I may stop by the TB for some turkey, but no way I'm celebrating my American holiday by speaking German!

@KitKat: Its on the southeast corner of the Agnestrasse/Tengstrasse intersection. Best way to get there is take the U2 to Josephsplatz, exit north and its less than 5min walk. Just look fo the Savoy signs...and its the big wooden door with metal decoration stuff on it.

Ok, but my attempt at exiting north will be with either the south, east or west exit!!!

Just look for the Georgenstrasse exit. That'll be north. Hang a right on Georgenstrasse, next block hang a left onto Tengstrasse. Walk 20m, it's on your right.

Oh! So I will maybe get to eat turkey on Thanksgiving after all! Great!
I might be able to come to the Twisted Bavarian, but not until after 9:30. Not sure yet.

Gooble, gooble!

ok, just a little reminder!

Tonights German Stammtisch will be at:

THE TWISTED BAVARIAN

we'll start around 7:15!

looking forward seeing you all there for a nice chat in german and some yummy tex mex thanksgiving dinner

Hey there,

just curious how a canadian fella might recognize your group?

I'm desperate for some fellow German learners, here I thought I was alone in my battle until I signed up for this site today! W00t

I can recognize a Canadian accent from a mile away!! We should be the biggest group there...if in doubt, ask ANY of the staff or bartenders, they'll know for sure.

or just watch out for the only ones in there who speak german

Awesome, see you there!

I forgot my dictionary today so beware

Hey all, not sure if I'm gonna be able to make it after all tonight, as have to saty at work late and am going to Graz tomorrow at the crack of dawn. However, I shall do my best to come along, even if it's for a short while, as I know I'll be greatly missed otherwise

exactly!
hope you'll make it!!

i might be a bit late myself!

Pfirti Norgäl!

Sin

Determined to make next Thursday's Stammtisch... at least I'll be in the country!

Anybody got a cool place they'd like to try out as a venue?? Needs to offer food to keep AquaticM happy , large enough for 20+ and quiet enough to not be shouting...

Tattenbachs in Lehel right off the Ubahn, catty corner from the Sitar

what about cafe puck on türkenstraße?

or what someone suggested cafe trachtenvogel (never been there, so don't know about how big it is and if it fits 20 pax!

Tattenbachs might be good as it is a cracking place with a private room available if required... and of course close to where JML lives for the after party

Hi,

I really need to work on my German so I will definitely be there on Thursday, I'm assuming it"s this Thursday Dec 9? Do we need to reserve a place or just show up ?

@smartini-

Yep, this Thursday.,,, just come along, no reservation necessary.. I'll post the time and place etc tomorrow...

who else is gonna make it this week?

I'm all about the Stammtisch! You can count me in, should we start a new thread?

Gotta soak it up, signed up for a german course after the Adventzeit and seems most if not all Evening german courses are thursday evenings Mah beeees!

i'll be there with a friend

We'll be along to the German talking thing () at around 9ish...I know technically it ends then...but perhaps we can entice some to speak a bit longer auf Deutsch.

If not hey...we can try to add to the ambience of the evening in da hood (nah...it's just Lehel).
