Fun and engaging – John Dawton about Language café meeting

Twelve Russian guests, three Enjoy Russian school students, one teacher, dozens of jokes, of tea cups and cookies, laugh, conversation and positive emotions – that is a short description of Language café, an every week meeting arranged by our teachers.

Friday, the 13^th of March was defiantly lucky for those who participated in the meeting. The idea of informal conversations is maybe not new, but it does work! It is so nice to drink tea and learn new. 12 Russian students tried to speak only English on the meeting. Three students of our school (John, Nick and Jamie) were the special guests.

The topic of the conversation was travelling, stereotypes and Russian and British knowledge about each other. “Fun and engaging”, - John described his impression. - “I really liked it, everyone was really interested and eager to learn”. He also admitted that he had been surprised that Russians had been so much aware of London and British history. Personal experience of communicating with foreigners was also discussed. All our students assured us that they considered Russians to be very friendly. Well, as long as you learn them more.

The Language café is supposed to remain weekly. You are welcome to propose any topic you are interested in!
