| English Speaking Clubs in Berlin |
| English Events in Berlin - fun, laid-back way to meet people who speak English, Charles Clawson, the person who runs this club, sets up comedy shows, dinners, boat parties and more to give a nice atmosphere to meet people who speak English in Berlin
Connect Berlin e.V. - "English Speakers Cultural Club", probably the most general club in Berlin for people who speak English as their native language or who want to practice their English. Very active.
The Berlin Dinner Club - "Come along and join us if you speak English and like dining out in Berlin, Germany." Seems up to date, lots of pictures to look at on the site.
English Football Club Berlin - Founded in 1892 the club "slipped into decline for a hundred years or so" to be reincarnated in 2003 in order to give English-speaking children and adults a chance to train and play football in Berlin on a regular basis.

| Underground Tours of Berlin - I went on an English speaking tour of the WWII bunker under Oranienburg U-Bahnhof. The tour guide unlocks a green door that you pass everyday on your way to the U-Bahn, you walk through it and you are in 1942. Recommendable!

| Teaching Resources in Berlin |
| LISUM - Berliner Landesinsitut für Schule und Medien - I have checked out lots of English books here that I used with my kids and in classes. They also have a large French and Spanish section. The English section has lots of videos, magazines, maps, etc. Worth taking a look. Located near Spittelmarkt U2 in Mitte.
|
| English Theater in Berlin |
| English Theatre Berlin - A lively theatre, nice English productions. I also saw this on the site
"Two volunteers per performance sell tickets and drinks before the show
and perform some light cleaning (dishes, sweeping). And for that they
get to see the performance for free!"
Platypus Theatre - I went to two shows, one for adults, one for children- I wasn't disappointed either time. They grade their plays for English learners- might be a softer start for low level learners compared to Friends of Italian Opera. Platypus also send out material for teachers upon request to work with
in class.

| English Cinemas in Berlin |
| Film Club - I used to see English movies at Die Kurbel in Charlottenburg but just called and they said they don't have any English movies playing there now.

anonymous: Cinestar Sony Center at Pots Platz always has OV films - most Hollywood types in English.
