In search of American holidays

This week the USA is celebrating its birthday. And we’d like to thank every American citizen who supports Ukraine and our people. That’s July 4th is one of the most popular American holidays which people enjoy not only in the US but in the rest of the world. Our Speaking Session we dedicated to this magnificent country and dove into its life a bit.

We discussed some opinions about American culture and then learned some American Idioms which are still very common in English. We did some exercises to practice using them on the interactive platform CoolEnglish that made this learning more effective.

When in Rome do as the Romans do

When in Rome do as the Romans do. Probably everyone heard this saying before but what exactly it means.

It was great to learn some other Countries Idioms (e.g. Go Dutch, Take French Leave, It’s all Greek to me etc.) with the group of students who join English Speaking Practice. I’m really happy that native speakers take part in our meetings and help us improve our English. I’m glad to see our friends from all over the world, so we can share our experiences of living in different countries. Yesterday we compared lifestyles of the USA , Albania , Ireland , Canada and of course Ukraine - countries where lots of people fled to from the war. It’s great to understand that there are people who support refugees and help them feel like at home in many countries. I do believe that we come back to our hometown and meet each other in person.

What a great way to start a week with English

What a great way to start a week with English especially with people you have a lot in common. This time we talked about relationships and learned some phrases to talk about them in English.

Our friends from the USA and Canada taught us some useful expressions and at the end of the meeting we had a free speaking conversation. I do love this Practice because it helps me not to give up and do my job
