Welcome to a new way to learn English!

This week, we're launching our brand-new, 6-week intermediate drop-in series, and you're invited to the first session: The Art of Polite Requests & Suggestions.

Ever feel awkward when you need to ask for a favor in English? In this interesting and practical class, we’ll move beyond the basics to master the language of diplomacy. We'll kick things off with a fun icebreaker (Desert Island Dilemma) before diving into a real-world reading to see how native speakers do it. After some practice, you’ll get to participate in one of our now-legendary debates: "Is it better to be direct and risk sounding rude, or be indirect and risk being misunderstood?"

This series is designed for your busy life. While we have six unique topics planned, there's absolutely no commitment. Come for one, or come for all! Our goal is to give you skills you can use the moment you walk out the door. After the class, you are very welcome to stay around, socialize and make new friends until 8pm.

Join us for this new modality of learning—a fun, social space to practice, meet people, and finally master the English you need for real life. We can't wait to see you there!

This week, we're launching our brand-new, 6-week beginner drop-in series, and you're invited to a very special session: Talking About Your Weekend.

Is it hard to tell a simple story about what you did yesterday? In this fun and practical class, we’ll learn how to use the Past Simple to share your experiences and unlock your ability to talk about the past. We'll start with a fun memory game icebreaker ("Yesterday I...") before reading a simple story about "Maria's Weekend" to see how it's done. After some practice, you’ll get to play one of our legendary games: "Past Tense Detective," where you have to find the lie in your classmates' stories!

This series is designed for your busy life. While we have six unique topics planned, there's absolutely no commitment. Come for one, or come for all! Our goal is to give you the power to tell simple stories the moment you walk out the door. After the class, you are very welcome to stay around, socialize and make new friends until 8pm.

Join us for this new way of learning—a fun, social space to practice, meet people, and take a big step in your English journey. We can't wait to see you there!
