Communication keys to involvement
Two years ago, I moved to the USA. Used to an active social life, I suddenly felt invisible. Language is a whole world! And without it, you're like standing behind glass: you see life bustling around you, but you can't touch it.
It was especially difficult to join in the fast-paced conversations in English. While you're gathering your thoughts, the conversation has already moved on. And you want to share your experience, to be understood correctly, to share your expertise, but the language barrier becomes an insurmountable obstacle.
That's when I came up with the idea of creating a "Conversation Club for Refugees". It's a place where you can practice English with native speakers in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Our volunteers are patient and attentive, ready to support a conversation on any topic.
At the club, you can improve your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and get unobtrusive grammar corrections. But most importantly, it's an opportunity to finally communicate freely, make friends, and feel comfortable in a new language environment.
This conversation club is also an opportunity to learn more about the culture and traditions of the USA and Ukraine, meet interesting people, and broaden your horizons.
