overview
Just dive in!
That's my motto. Or, well, maybe my new motto. I've been teaching classes at the University of Manitoba for over two years in the Extended Education department. There's one common theme that I've seen - the fear of public speaking and thinking that you'll be saying the "wrong" things in conversation. My response to these feelings have always been the same - you just gotta dive in!
Learning a new language can be tough, especially with the nuances that English has. The more opportunities you find to practice natural conversations, the easier it is to speak. In this 90 minute session, you'll learn about good habits in effective presentations and in natural conversations, and you get to meet others with similar goals
