This section is dedicated to free events organized by the teacher for all students to meet, connect, and get to know one another beyond the regular coursework.
Don’t fret—there’s no homework involved!
The aim of this teatime activity is simply to enjoy the conversational aspect — one of the key elements of the Conversation Gym — and spend some friendly time together with the option of receiving minor corrections when needed.
Here, we practise conversation in a lighter way compared to the Conversation Gym because:
☕ all activities take place in the main session — there’s no work in Breakout Rooms (where students maximise their speaking time);
☕ the meeting is twice as short as a regular course session (only one hour)
☕ there’s no in-depth analysis of grammar topics — it’s all about keeping things light and stress-free.

❓ WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES CAN YOU EXPECT?
We usually talk about different things that happened during our week and share something that caught our attention (often a short video). It’s an easy-going space to chat, catch up, and keep practising English in a natural way.
❓ WHEN DO THESE EVENTS HAPPEN?
Since the teacher is usually busy during the week, events take place on Saturdays or Sundays at 4pm.
Because weekends are also for relaxing, these events run for six consecutive weeks, followed by a break of roughly the same length.
