Details
English follows Japanese.
Let’s talk in English
💻英語を勉強したい人が集まる、リラックスしたオンラインイベントです。
英文記事を読みながら（1人・1パラグラフずつ音読）、新しいボキャブラリーを学びます。その後、記事のテーマにまつわるトピックに関してブレイクアウトルームでディスカッションします。
参加者はその時々で違いますが、世代を問わずさまざまなメンバーが参加します。年齢制限はありませんので、学生さんもぜひご参加ください。
毎回、最初に「最近あった良かったこと」をシェアする時間を設けています。ぜひ参加前に、皆にシェアしたい出来事を考えてみてください。
参加者全員が話す機会があります！スピーキングスキルを伸ばしたい方、大歓迎です。
レベルは問いませんが、自分の意見を英語で伝える努力ができる人に向いているイベントです。
こんな方におすすめ
✔ 英会話の実践練習を増やしたい人
✔会話の瞬発力を磨きたい人
✔ボキャブラリーを増やしたい人
✔英語でのディスカッション力を鍛えたい人（ディスカッションでは自分から発言する姿勢が求められます。この積極性は、実践的な英会話力を身に付ける上で欠かせない要素です）
記事の内容は社会問題、文化、経済など多岐にわたります。
一般的な英会話イベントでよく聞かれる「趣味は？」「行ってみたい国は？」などの話題では語彙や表現が限定され、英語での思考力や瞬発力が伸びにくいという実経験から、日本語でもあまり考えたことがないことを英語で即座に考え、自分の意見を整理したうえでディスカッションできるテーマを厳選しています。
英会話レッスンではありませんので、とにかくリラックスして楽しんでください♪
英単語が思い浮かばなかったら日本語を混ぜてもOKです！

About the Event
Looking for more opportunities to speak English and express your opinions confidently?
Join us for a relaxed online meetup where we read authentic English articles, learn useful vocabulary and expressions, and discuss thought-provoking topics in small breakout groups.
This is more than just casual conversation. We explore topics related to society, culture, economics, and other real-world issues, giving you the chance to think on your feet and express your own ideas in English.
Everyone gets a chance to speak! If you want to improve your speaking skills through active participation, this meetup is for you.
What to Expect
- Icebreaker: Share a recent highlight
We start by sharing something good that has happened to us recently. Think of a small or big moment you’d like to share with the group!
- Read & Learn
We take turns reading an English article aloud, one paragraph per person. Along the way, we learn useful vocabulary and expressions together. We do this twice during the session.
- Discuss & Exchange Ideas
We explore questions related to the article’s themes in breakout rooms. You’ll have opportunities to organize your thoughts, express your opinions, and respond to other participants’ ideas. We have two discussion rounds.
Who Should Join?
This meetup is ideal for people who want to:
✔ Get more hands-on English speaking practice
✔ Improve their ability to respond quickly in conversations
✔ Expand their vocabulary and learn useful expressions
✔ Develop their English discussion and critical-thinking skills
✔ Feel more confident expressing opinions in English
There is no strict English proficiency requirement, and students of all ages are welcome. However, this meetup is best suited to people who are willing to make an effort to express their thoughts in English and actively participate in discussions.
You don’t need to speak perfect English. What matters is being willing to try!
Why Join This Meetup?
Do you ever find yourself thinking:
- “I know what I want to say, but I can’t express it quickly enough in English.”
- “I want to improve my speaking skills, but I don’t get enough opportunities to practice.”
- “I want to go beyond small talk and have more meaningful conversations in English.”
You’re not alone!
Many English learners find it difficult to express their thoughts spontaneously, especially when discussing unfamiliar topics.
That’s why we go beyond typical small-talk questions like “What are your hobbies?” or “Which country would you like to visit?”
Instead, we explore a wide range of topics, including social issues, culture, and economics. These discussions challenge you to think about questions you may not have considered before, organize your ideas, and communicate them in English.
With regular practice, you can gradually improve your ability to think on your feet, expand your vocabulary, and express yourself with greater confidence.
A Relaxed Environment for Learning
This is not a formal English lesson. It’s a hobby-based community event where we learn and improve together in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Don’t worry if you can’t remember a particular English word or expression. You’re welcome to mix in Japanese when needed.
The goal is to enjoy the process of learning, challenge yourself, and help each other improve.
