We will meet at Suchi's house at 7:30 and focus on Gujarati until about 9. Then it can be socializing if people wish to stick around. We will order pizza or Chinese or something based on everyone's preference. The exact address will be given only to people who have RSVPed yes. This is within walking distance of the Vienna Metro on the Orange Line. As usual - we will cater the session to the needs and interests of those in attendance. We can do reading, writing, speaking, or all of the above. These meetups provide a chance for us to refresh our Gujarati skills, learn new Gujarati, and meet new people.

Our second meetup promises to be a fun and challenging experience. We all have areas where our Gujarati is weak - these meetups provide an informal atmosphere where we can hone our Gujarati language skills once a month and make sure they don't fade away. A good format for the second meetup may be to read a paragraph at a normal reading pace to get a feeling for the overall meaning. Then, we can dissect the paragraph and go over it word by word. Each person can write down the words that are new for them. That would then become each person's homework - to use the new words over the following month and really learn them. I couldn't get the library this time so I have made a reservation at Jaipur in Fairfax - it's pretty close to Vienna metro - I can pick you up at 7 if you need it. It's a good restaurant but I will ask that we not order food for the first 45 minutes while we are focusing on writing. They have a more private area in the back so hopefully this will work out and we won't be distracted. The restaurant is in the Circle Towers Apartment complex so take extra care to park in two hour parking otherwise you might get towed. I look forward to seeing all of you!

I'm really excited about starting up this group - this is something I have always wanted to do. I hope many of you will be able to make it to this first meeting. I have finalized the location - Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library is about a five minute drive from West Falls Church Metro and I think a 30 minute walk. There is also a bus line that goes from the metro to the library - use www.wmata.com if you would like to take the bus. Please e-mail me using the meetup site if you would like to be picked up at the metro at 7:00pm. Please try to be on time if you are attending - we have to vacate the conference room at 8:45 - so it gives us just over an hour for the actual education/learning piece. Currently, I am thinking of spending some time on going over how to write a few letters of the alphabet and the basic idea of how the language is written. Then, practice reading from a children's book (I'll have copies for everyone). And the last half hour can be devoted to small group conversation in Gujarati. Afterwards, if people feel like socializing or are hungry, we can drive to a nearby restaurant.
