ESL Practice Session via Skype: Sat. 11:15
Details
This ESL meetup will be held online, via Skype video chat. If you have not recently attended a group with Jill, here are the guidelines:
- Skype is free, but you need to register to get a user name.
- You also need to sign up and get a confirmed spot in the Saturday ESL Meetup group.
- Once you have done 1 and 2 above, you must send your Skype contact name to Jill via Meetups messages.
- If you have an account through WhatsApp, please send her that contact information as well, as Jill will be using WhatsApp to send and receive messages to/from the group.
- Once you have done that, Jill will then provide you with her email address.
- In order to do the classes without person to person contact, you will need to pre-pay for the class/ classes via etransfer. You may pay for just the one class ($3), or you may prepay for the month. You will send the prepayment, via etransfer, to the email address which Jill will send you. If you can’t attend, refunds will be provided if you give one week’s notice in advance of your absence. Payment must be received by the day before the meetup.
- On the day of the event, Jill will video-call you on Skype just prior to the starting time. Please be sure that your computer is on, that you have tested your microphones and camera, and that you are set up to receive the call. Also, please make sure that you are in a quiet environment with little external noise.
This recurring ESL practice session is for those who would like to improve their English grammar and pronunciation. This session is at 11:15 am on Saturday and is led by Jill, a former English teacher.
Sign-ups for any empty spots in the Saturday group will open at 1:15 pm on Saturday, one week prior to the Meetup.
The focus is on improving those hard-to-pronounce words and sounds, getting rid of that little bit of accent that lingers, practicing verb tenses and learning idioms and vocabulary. It is a casual, non-threatening informal group. All levels of English learners are welcome!
