In our March Thinking in English conversation clubs, weโ€™ll explore the environment, Europe, British culture, and the experience of living and working abroad. I think these are perfect topics for practicing opinion-based language, comparisons, storytelling skills, and practical communication.

As always, every Conversation Club session includes:

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s coming up in March 2026.


March Conversation Club Topics

Each week, we focus on a different theme designed to encourage natural conversation, opinion sharing, and real-life English use. As always, Iโ€™ll prepare discussion questions, useful vocabulary, and example answers before each session.

March Conversation Club Schedule!

Week 1: Environment & The Tragedy of the Commons

Tuesday & Thursday: March 3 & 5

We begin with a fascinating and important topic: how we share and protect common resources. Weโ€™ll discuss:

  • What is the โ€œTragedy of the Commonsโ€?
  • Why do environmental problems happen?
  • Who is responsible for protecting the planet?
  • Can individuals really make a difference?

This session is great for practising cause-and-effect language, expressing responsibility, and debating solutions.


Week 2: ย Letโ€™s Discuss Europe!

Tuesday & Thursday: March 10 & 12

Europe is diverse, complex, and constantly changing. This week weโ€™ll explore:

  • Cultural differences across Europe
  • Politics, history, and identity
  • Travel experiences and stereotypes
  • The future of European cooperation

I think this is a perfect topic for sharing personal experiences and practising comparisons between countries and cultures.


Week 3: Culture & The UK

Tuesday & Thursday: March 17 & 19

This week, weโ€™ll focus on British culture. Discussion topics include:

  • Traditions and social customs
  • British humour and communication styles
  • Regional differences within the UK
  • Common stereotypes (and whether theyโ€™re true!)

If youโ€™re interested in studying, working, or travelling in the UK, or you want to understand British English better, this session will be useful.


Week 4: Living, Travelling, & Working Abroad

Tuesday & Thursday: March 24 & 26

We finish March with one of the most popular Conversation Club themes. Weโ€™ll talk about:

  • Culture shock
  • The challenges of working in another country
  • Why people choose to move abroad
  • Language learning through immersion

This session is perfect for storytelling, sharing advice, and practising real-life conversational English.
