This week the Thinking in English Conversation Club is immersing ourselves in English!
Language immersion is one of the best methods to improve your English skills… but what are your experiences?
The Thinking in English Conversation Club has members from all around the world with different experiences, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to share our perspectives on language immersion.
How often do you use English outside of lessons or classes? Have you ever had an interesting conversation with a stranger in English? How do you create an English environment if you don’t live in an English-speaking country?
Let’s discuss these questions and how to immerse ourselves in English in this week’s conversation club.
Here are some conversation questions to get you talking!
The Thinking in English Conversation Club takes place every TUESDAY and THURSDAY at 12pm, 6pm, and midnight UK time!
