5 reasons to practice talking in your chosen second language

You probably haven’t spoken a second language since school. Or you may have been abroad and done quite well ordering your lunch, getting from A to B, and bartering in the markets.

Whether you’re already a student at The Language Guru, want to brush up your existing skills, or you feel you’d like to learn another language from scratch, we always encourage you to practice speaking with others as much as you can.

Why?

  1. It will improve your listening and responding skills
  2. You could be tested beyond your comfort zone
  3. You’ll be in an informal and relaxed setting
  4. You’ll find out which areas you need help in, to pass on to your tutor
  5. The more you practice now, the easier it’ll become when you’re talking, negotiating, doing business or buying something overseas or on the phone to native speakers

One easy way to practice is to come along to our social events. These aren’t just for our students, they’re for everyone, no matter what level you’re at.

Coming up is our Wine and Charcuterie evening on Monday 12th June at the lovely Fourth & Church restaurant in Church Road, Hove. One of our native teachers will be there to ensure the flow of wine and conversation is as sparkling as the charcuterie is tasty. It’s a great opportunity for some real French/English conversation practice, while sampling some delicious French wines and nibbles.

Book now, and look out for our future events! www.bookwhen.com/thelanguageguru
