The Venue: La Clairière de Dana 🏡🌲
We are fortunate to host our sessions at La Clairière de Dana in Court-Saint-Etienne. Nestled in a wooded area, this artists' house is the ultimate place to disconnect, relax, and recharge with nature. It provides a perfect backdrop for our conversations. We can even meet outdoors on the terraces when the weather is good.🎨✨
The Experience ☕️🗣️
At the start of each meeting, we decide our focus together based on your wishes. If you don't have a specific request, here is what we have lined up for our relaxed 1.5-hour sessions:
First Half: Chat, play games, and discuss funny or thought-provoking videos packed with real-world, practical idioms. Then, you get precious feedback from Ingrid to improve your English.
Second Half: Dive deeper with the coursebook 'How to Speak and Write Clearly'. Practice sharing your thoughts with the group as if it were a short easy public talk, discuss your own communication experiences, such as, for example, how to explain an issue to a colleague or to your boss, how to explain something you need from hotel staff when you travel, answer questions at an exam, present a project at an interview, tell an amazing story to people you meet when travelling,... the list is endless. Then, of course, we wrap up with more friendly feedback. 💬🥂
