Hi! I am in Germany and am new to event organizing. I have my first event planned for
June. I have offered a few small workshops and family dances since November. An issue I
have had with my smaller workshops (and am worried about my larger event) is language.
With the smaller workshops, I just kinda wing it depending on who is there. But for a
larger event, winging it is probably not the best tactic.
I am wondering if there are a few other planners here that are not based in
English-speaking countries and can share with me how things have worked out with for them.
Do you stick to all English? or have the beginner lesson and/or walkthrus in the majority
language? or everything except for the actual calling in the majority language?
I am especially interested in the scenario of hiring a caller who doesn't speak German
at all and curious if/how this will work out. Incidentally, the caller I have hired for
my June event does speak German, so it won't be an issue.
tia,
Rebecca
