Hi everyone, I'm Samra, I live in France and I would like to improve my spoken English. I work as a teacher and I need to speak English with my students as well. I'm happy to join you!

Wishing you a peaceful, joyful day full of good moments and a little time to relax. And to everyone else in the community, I hope you’re enjoying a lovely weekend too 🙂 hæpi ˈiːstə

Great news! This week we will have two live meetings: 1️⃣ Coffee Hour – Pronunciation Focus We will continue working on the /æ/ sound (the sound in cat, man, bad, hat). We will practice: - Mouth position - Minimal pairs (cat vs cut, bad vs bed) - Words and sentences - Speaking together If this sound is not clear, many words sound like bed/men instead of bad/man, so it’s a very important sound to train. 2️⃣ Conversation Lesson – General English In the second meeting, we will just talk. No stress, no perfect English, no perfect pronunciation required. The goal is: - Speak - Think in English - Build confidence - Get used to speaking in a group Pronunciation + Conversation = Real Progress. What do you think? The first will be on Tuesday The second on Friday. Check the calendar for local time! Will you be there? 👀

April is a good moment to start something new — but also to continue something you already started. Improvement in English, pronunciation, and confidence doesn’t come from one big effort. It comes from small, regular practice. One sound. One word. One conversation. One Coffee Hour. One small step every week. That’s how progress really works. This month, instead of trying to improve everything, try to choose one thing: • one sound you want to improve • one situation where you want to feel more confident • one habit you want to build (for example: speaking 10 minutes a day) Small steps, but done consistently, create real change. 💬 Your turn This month, I want to improve my English so I can ____________________.
