As a singer, I'm pretty used to Italian musical terms. "English"
language contra is already full of other languages. I would tend to
keep to standard English terms for portability across nations.
The lingua franca for air traffic control is English, for standard
communication across all nationalities of pilots.

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
