The 35th English meeting was a different experience for the 15 members. We had 2 new cool members: Sahba and Bamshad. We sort of ;) met each other at Sarband square and headed for a restaurant for breakfast. After 30 minutes of walking uphill we found a suitable place near a few ducks which were quacking like each 10 minutes. I guess we were there for some 90 minutes and a few more minutes waiting for 3 heavy smokers whose membership is going to be deactivated sooner or later!  Well I dont like hookahs...

Me taking picture of the guys fooling around down there!

Did you know that this staute was built before the revolution?

Monuntains and I!

Wow!

The noisy ducks!

Two years ago (in 2007), English Meetings were started in Tehran, Iran, with the aim of helping English learners improve their general knowledge of English. The first meeting was held in Mellat park and we were some 15 guys there...

English meetings are held weekly (or biweekly) in Tehran parks, coffee shops, institutes and wherever I find suitable depending on the number of the participants.

I usually post a discussion topic/question(s) before the meeting and it'll be shown up in the front page of the website.

Funglish.org started as a Yahoo group in 2007, 2nd of March. The aim of the group was both learning English and having fun!

Now, at funglish.org, our aim is just having fun! You can browse through the jokes, SMS's, quotations, and many other funny and interesting posts.

You can send your own post as well! To do so click on "Add your post" from the menu on the left sidebar and fill in the title and the body of your text and click on "save". Your post will be added to funglish.org after quick moderation.
