I know how important it is to regularly practice the language you learn, so I decided to open a Saturday Speaking Club, where we can discuss different interesting topics in small groups in Zoom.
I see the Club as not only a place to chat in a cozy atmosphere, but also as a good opportunity to learn and practice something new. That is why I will base it on lexical and communicative approaches.
I decided to call the Club “БЕСЕДКА”. In Russian, this word means “an alcove” – the place where you can rest and chat with friends. But the most important is that this noun is based on the verb “беседовать” – “to converse, to talk, to chat”.
So I think it is a perfect name for it.
And I gladly invite you to join me in my “БЕСЕДКА”!
