This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is talking about living abroad
In today’s world immigration is almost second nature. Every country on Earth has people who moved there from another country, and local people who are ready to leave.
As an English learner, there is a good chance that you have moved abroad, or are planning to do so, if not there is a strong chance one of your ancestors did long ago.
Here are 10 conversation questions to get you talking about moving abroad!
The Thinking in English Conversation Club takes place every TUESDAY and THURSDAY at 12pm, 6pm, and 9pm UK time!
You can find more details on how to participate on Patreon and Discord!
