Learning English: Thoughts on conversation groups

Next week, we will have our last session of this academic year. Because of that, we would like to devote it to reflecting on your experience as English learners in our group and outside it. Were our meetings useful for you? What do you think are the virtues of our conversation group? Is there anything you would like to change, or something you have missed during the sessions? While you prepare to share your ideas, you can watch a couple of useful videos here:

1. Is there a critical period for learning a language?

2. The Health Benefits Of Learning a Foreign Language

Have a pleasant weekend!

Grammar

 Hello!

Next week we will practice some grammar topics, but we should also reflect on how we apply grammar rules to our speaking skills. We recommend these two materials to start thinking about it:

1. Video: How can I use grammar correctly when speaking English?

 

 

2. Text: "How to Improve your English Grammar"

Find it at: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/english-levels/improve-your-english-level/how-improve-your-english-grammar

Have a nice weekend!

1. Customer Complaints - Handling 5 Types of Complainers

2. How to... make polite requests

How can we describe requests in English?

See you next week!
