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. 

The Person Behind the Profile

A new season of our English Speaking Practice with a native speaker for Youth has begun!

We began with a fun game of “Never Have I Ever” — a perfect way to find out how our students spent their vacation. From new experiences and adventures to funny and unexpected moments, we discovered that there were plenty of stories to share!

Then we moved to our main topic: “The Person Behind the Profile.”

How much can a social media profile really tell us about a person? Is the version of ourselves we show online the same as who we are in real life? And what parts of our personality never make it onto the screen?

Through interactive activities, discussions, imaginary profiles, and real-life situations, our students explored the difference between online identity and real identity, talked about first impressions, authenticity, privacy, and the way we choose to present ourselves online.

The students had plenty of opportunities not only to practice vocabulary and speaking skills, but also to ask questions, express opinions, disagree, explain their ideas, and simply have a real conversation in English.

Sometimes, there is much more behind a profile than what we choose to post.

We’re happy to be starting another season of meaningful conversations, new ideas, and real English communication — together with our wonderful young participants and native speakers!
