OCTOBER 2020 | CONVERSATION CLASS
HALLOWEEN EDITION with Mariana Casals
CONVERSATION CLASS Date and place: 29 October 2020 - 8 p.m. (BRT / UTC-3horas) Zoom (https://zoom.us/join) - link will be sent 1 day before the class
What to expect The main idea of a conversation lesson is to provide speaking opportunities so that you can feel more comfortable using the language. We'll be using breakout rooms so you can talk in small groups and we may create something together. Feedback may be provided at the end of the class, but the lesson revolves around the interaction and the use of English as an opportunity to socialize in English.
