Career Quest: Find your thing!

The last English Speaking Session for youth turned into a real career adventure!

We explored the world of future opportunities, discovered hidden talents, talked about personal strengths, and imagined what our dream jobs might look like.

Through fun speaking challenges, creative tasks, job interviews, and unexpected career dilemmas, our teenagers had a chance to think outside the box, share their ambitions, and express their opinions in English.

From traditional professions to unusual jobs that might exist in the future, we discovered that there are so many ways to turn our interests and passions into something meaningful.

And one important thought we took home: You don’t have to know exactly what you want to be. You just have to stay curious, explore your talents, and be brave enough to try new things!

Because finding your thing is not just about choosing a career — it’s about discovering what makes you feel inspired and excited about the future.

Keep dreaming big, exploring, and speaking English!

Dream Big: What If Anything Were Possible?

What if there were no limits, no fear of failure, and no one telling you that something was impossible? What would you dream about?

During our latest youth English speaking practice, we let our imagination run wild! We explored our dream lives, pressed imaginary magic buttons to change the world, imagined having unlimited opportunities, and shared ideas about what we would do if anything were possible.

We talked about our biggest ambitions, challenged ourselves with creative “What if…?” questions, and even invented ideas that could make the world a better place.

One of the most inspiring moments was imagining a letter from our future selves — a little reminder to believe in ourselves, stay brave, and never stop chasing our dreams.

Along the way, we practised useful vocabulary, improved our speaking confidence, and learned that English is not just about grammar and words. It’s also about expressing ideas, sharing perspectives, and discovering new possibilities.

Because sometimes, all it takes to make a dream come true is the courage to dream it first.

From Autumn Vibes to Money Talks!

Our English speaking practice for youth was full of interesting conversations and new vocabulary! We started our online meeting by exploring the cozy side of autumn — our favorite autumn things, sweet treats, breakfast ideas, cozy places, and TV series that create the perfect fall atmosphere.

But our English adventure didn’t end there! We continued in our Telegram chat, where we switched to the topic “Money Talks” .

We discussed money habits, saving and spending, everyday financial situations, and learned useful English expressions to talk about money more naturally. We also challenged ourselves with vocabulary quizzes and shared our opinions.

The best part? We’re not just learning English — we’re using it to connect, exchange ideas, and discover new perspectives!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and special thanks to Alana for making our speaking practice even more engaging!

Sustainable Eating

Today we had a lovely speaking practice for youth with Alana, our native speaker! She opened the session by introducing a special theme: this Friday, October 16, is World Food Day, so we dove into the topic of growing food.

We also talked about some of our favorite foods, how we can save leftovers, reduce waste, and balance our meals. After that, we had a creative storytelling activity: Alana gave the girls a set of words and places, and they crafted beautiful stories about their ideal cozy autumn evening.

They described fireplaces, pumpkins, tea, and even evenings from their childhood or dreams for the future. It was such a warm and inspiring session-these creative stories gave us all a glimpse into each other’s worlds. We can’t wait for next week’s topic-stay tuned!

Healthy Mind in a Busy World

How do we stay mentally healthy when life seems to be getting busier and busier?

This was the focus of our latest English Speaking Practice for Adults. 

Participants expanded their vocabulary with useful B2–C1 expressions such as “to be mentally drained,” “to run on empty,” “to set boundaries,” “to switch off,” “emotional bandwidth,” and “emotional resilience.”

But, as always, the main goal was to use English in real conversations. We discussed whether being busy always means being productive, how much screen time is too much, why it can be difficult to rest without feeling guilty, and what helps us truly recharge.

One of the key questions we reflected on was: What does a healthy mind actually mean in today’s busy world?

It was a thoughtful, engaging and very relevant conversation — with plenty of opportunities to share personal experiences, challenge ideas and learn from one another.

Because sometimes, taking care of your mind also means slowing down, switching off and making space for what really matters.
