Have your English conversation skills become rusty? Join a relaxed afternoon group where your language skills will activate as if by themselves in interaction with other students. Regular practice increases self-confidence and expands your vocabulary. The spring programme includes a short grammar session to support fluency.
Vocabulary and/or short text related to the next week’s topic will be provided in class a week before and are also available on Moodle.
