*********************************************************
Last time Renee and I talked about ways to make better use of our time. On Saturday I'll send materials for conversation exercises we'll work through on Monday (sorry I'm not able to send them sooner). I'm really hoping everyone can make it this time - it takes a critical mass to make this work.

*******************
Bring materials you'd like to work with - pictures, dialogs, stories, poems, etc. I'l bring my laptop again so we can work with Rosetta Stone or U of TX stuff if we want.
Is Marakech working for everyone? I think it's convenient, but not very fun. What would y'all think about meeting in a study lounge or classroom and just ordering pizza instead?

BRING YOUR FLASHCARDS so we can review vocabulary. I'll also bring my laptop so we can work with Rosetta Stone if we want and a worksheet for reviewing verb conjugation.

I'd also like to talk about the possibility of obtaining a dedicated space to meet and also store materials like books, videos, etc.

The entrance is between Royal Cigar & Tobacco and Hair by Stewart on the West side of 14th Ave. On the Google map street view, the entrance is marked "Starlight Coffee" - but that place was replaced by Marrakech a few years ago.

The Marakech Cafe is fairly quiet and comfortable, and their food is reasonably cheap (standard Mediterranean food).
