Enhance Public Speaking and Leadership skills
**Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking — Join the upcoming meeting of Barsha Toastmasters!**
Did you know that **public speaking is one of the biggest fears worldwide**? For many, the idea of speaking in front of a crowd is more terrifying than anything else!
A few years ago, that was me. I had ideas, thoughts, and stories to share—but the moment I stood before an audience, my mind went blank.
Then one day, I stumbled upon a quote that changed everything:
**"Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain." – Mark Twain**
That’s when I walked into a **Barsha Toastmasters Club** meeting—and my life took a new turn. Over time, what was once fear gave way to **confidence, clarity, and connection**. Today, I speak with ease, have won multiple speech awards, and—most importantly—I enjoy doing it.
**Are you looking to:**
• Speak confidently in front of any audience?
• Become the speaker you've always aspired to be?
• Strengthen your leadership and communication skills?
Then we invite you to **visit Barsha Toastmasters Club**—a vibrant, supportive community where learning and growth happen together.

Mastering English Inside Out: From Grammar to Confidence
This is a comprehensive English learning group designed for learners of all levels who want to grow their skills holistically. Together, we tackle every dimension of the language—from lively conversation sessions and grammar workshops to vocabulary expansion and engaging activities. We believe in making the journey fun, supportive, and effective. Whether you’re aiming for fluency, mastering tricky grammar, or simply building confidence, you’ll find all the tools and support you need right here. Join us and invest in your English journey!
You could explore topics like everyday conversations in real-life scenarios, tricky grammar tenses (like present perfect vs. past simple), how to confidently express opinions in English, expanding your vocabulary in fun ways, practicing listening comprehension with media, and role-playing professional scenarios like interviews or presentations. This gives a nice balance of practical, creative, and structured topics!
For instance, one grammar topic could be: “Present Perfect vs. Past Simple: When do we use ‘I have done’ versus ‘I did’? We’ll explore key differences, practice recognizing time markers, and learn how to form each tense accurately.” That gives them a clear focus!
Please note, participation in each session requires a fee of 100 AED.” That way, expectations are clear!
