Hello, friends!
2011-12-05 13:39 Ilya

Hello, friends! Welcome to our Moscow-English-Club. Our meetings are held in one of quiet and spacious cafes in the center of Moscow near the metro.

The groups now are small: no bigger than seven people. Every group has a topic for the discussion; the questions are printed and given to the participants. The topic can be found on our site in advance.

No preliminary registration is required. Just come and participate. The level of the participants is advanced or intermediate. In our English communication club we speak only English. If it is your first time and you are not ready to speak yet, you can just sit and listen.

The communication is organized by a leader, the author of the topic. The duty of the leader is to make sure that everyone gets the opportunity to speak. The topic is just a start point of the communication. Then the discussion may take its own direction.

We come here not only for improving our English: socialization is also the aim. If you are interested in studying foreign languages you will learn many interesting and useful things. You will also be able to find partners for your personal communication among other members of our club. Perhaps one day you will become one of the leaders.

We are looking forward to seeing you.
