Наши соседи и коллеги попросили запостить информацию по курсам английского.
Это пока не у нас в Гиперионе происходит, но очень может случиться, что и у нас будет.
Это курсы английского языка, которые ведут живые англичане (по-русски они так себе) и которые представляют собой бурное общение по разным темам в маленьких группах. То есть для людей с уже хорошим пассивным запасом.
"From Tuesday May 12 we will start hosting Express Yourself, a 4-week course that makes you become more confident in English by debating. On Tuesdays there will be games and exercises that develop your public speaking and arguing skills. On Thursdays, you practice and compete, with a grand final at the end of the program! You can join either day, or BOTH. We work in small groups, so join soon before all spaces are taken! To sign up go to http://futuresay.net/groups/expressyourself
Tonight, Tuesday 28 April, there is a free event that you can attend, the GRAND FINAL of the previous course. It starts at 7pm at EXPOSED Gallery, 115998 ул.Шаболовка д.31Г. Come along to see what it's all about!
