Feb Session: The Ping-Pong Method: Mastering the Art of Conversation
Keywords: Communication, Connection, Small Talk, Ping-pong rally
Hi, everyone.
We have missed you! After a short break since last August, we are excited to return for a special 3-month series in February, March, and April to wrap up this season of our group.
In this session, let’s enjoy conversation like a “Ping Pong” rally!
Following the "Ping Pong Method" introduced in the video, we will play three matches of Ping Pong conversation in pairs.
- The Video of the Month:
- 📽 How to Talk to Strangers: The Ping Pong Method (5:29)
- Activity: The Ping Pong Match!
- 🏓 For the first time, we will try a "Pair Work" style. In each round, we will form pairs to practice "serves" (questions) and "returns" (answers) to keep the English rally going.
Discussion Questions (The Serves):
- Q1: What is something you have enjoyed doing recently?
- Q2: Who is a person that inspires you (or someone you want to meet)?
- Q3: Do you collect anything? Or, what is your best recent purchase?
We will guide you through the method, so don't worry—just come ready to play with ideas!
Event Details:
- Date: February 22, Sunday
- Time: 20:00 (JST)
- Rules: English only, Camera on, and Respect for all.
We look forward to seeing your friendly faces online again for this special kickoff!
PS
After these three events, we plan to take another break to explore new ideas for the future. We want to make these final sessions extra fun and have wonderful conversations together!
