Speaking Club

For everybody who wants to practice their fluency of speech with a native speaker.

English Conversational Club

An informal event at our school for everybody who wants to practice their fluency of speech with a native speaker.

Each Saturday we meet at 13:00 to share our opinions on most various conversational topics. We clearly understand that the practice of spoken speech is essential for all English learners. Our Conversational Club is a wonderful opportunity to have good time, meet a native speaker and other learners of English and have a thorough discussion.

This event doesn’t have a classical structure of a lesson, on the contrary to all rules and classical studies here people just speak, drop jokes, say what they thinks about the discussed issues in the atmosphere of friendly comfort. We don’t specially define levels of knowing the language neither do we offer any placement tests to enroll on that course. You can attend only one Saturday or become our regular member of the club. The only one thing required is your enthusiasm to speak and meet new people.

What features this event?

To make each meeting of the club more interesting we invite different native speakers from various parts of the world: from the USA, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. They lead a talk, ask questions, explain some of the new words and ask for your ideas. Here is an illustrative list of topics to discuss:

Healthy lifestyle and lifehacks
What does success take?
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
Customs and traditions
Mass media and its role in our lives
Prognosis for the future: What’s waiting for us?
Passion for travelling
The monster Internet
Fashion and its antics
Going out and different food experiences

Кристофер родился и жил в Манчестере, Великобритания. Он всегда интересовался путешествиями, и тем, как живут другие культуры и люди различных национальностей, поэтому приехал в Санкт-Петербург учить русский язык и преподавать английский.

Вероника Слугоцкая

Вероника отправилась в свое первое заграничное путешествие в 2016 году, и с тех постоянно поддерживает языковую практику с носителями языка. Она считает, чтобы заговорить на английско, внутри должен гореть огонек интереса и мечты: общаться с англоговорящими друзьями, прочитать любимую книгу в оригинале или создать международные рабочие связи.

За это время она много путешествовала по Европе, месяц шла по международному пути Сантьяго в Испании, общаясь с людьми из десятков стран, была волонтером преподавателем английского языка для детей на Бали.
“Для меня преподавание - это сочетание системы и творчества, знаний и вечного поиска нового.”
Уроки Вероники - это всегда маленький праздник, который при этом задействует все каналы восприятия для изучения английского.
