What is your signature dish?

 

Do you like cooking ? What’s your signature dish ?

This topic we had last English Speaking Practice where we improved and boosted our vocabulary. There were two native speakers from the United States and Canada, who shared favorite dishes of their countries. We were impressed that they also cook borscht, varenyky and holubtsi. Our visitors were asked some of the discussion questions, after that we recalled our cooking new dishes experiences and shared how it went. One of the tasks was to read the Spaghetti Carbonara recipe and find new cooking expressions. It was fun and engaging class which made our people get hungry at the end.

Hurdles in Learning Languages

Since last week we’ve had 2 great English Speaking Practices with native speakers from the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦. We had a lot of discussion related to learning languages, hurdles and goals. It’s interesting because not only we want to improve the English but our foreign guests are working hard to learn Ukrainian 😊. So during our meetings we help each other to become better in speaking 🙌.

Do you have hard time understanding natives? Join us next Thursday and we’ll help you to be confident 😉

Thank You Day

    One of my favorite activities which I’m grateful for 🤗 that is Speaking Practice we have twice a week. I want to thank all of the participants who join and improve English with us, volunteers who help us with speaking, the Peace Corps who supports and find great people who collaborate with us.

    January 11th there’s an International Thank You Day so today’s meeting was dedicated to things we are all  thankful for. After that we learned some expressions we could use instead of saying typical one “Thank You” and we also reflected on the importance to be grateful. Gratitude promotes optimism and helps us to develop a more positive outlook. It lets us pause for a moment to reflect on something we have in our life right now instead of always striving for more … the next goal, the new dress, the new toy, the new car, or the house renovation …

New Years Resolutions

It’s been a week of 2024 and we’ve already conducted 2 meetings of English Speaking Club dedicated to New Years Resolutions.

We started with some reflections and shared our happiest memories, biggest challenges and things we are grateful for. After that we examined the list of the UK’s top New Year’s resolutions according to Forbes and related them to ours.

Of course we learned some vocabulary and practiced it reading the article “Tips to keep your New Year’s Resolutions”, watched a video clip of Friends TV show and discussed some questions according to this topic. Hope everyone can keep their goals till the end of the year.

New Start of 2024

Do you have a special recipe for Christmas cookies? Our guest, Varley Paul from the USA has one and shared it with the members of English Speaking Club. We met online with VSSP to improve our speaking skills 🇺🇸🇬🇧. We shared our favorite recipes of New Year dishes and imagined what the New Year would be like if we served only one meal 🍽️😉.
