Conversation 2014-15

This workshop held in Rocafort Casa de Cultura and organized by La Pedrera with the Local Government is addressed to citizens who need to improve their oral skills. Many people are frustrated because their attempts at speaking the English language have been unsuccessful.

But they want to travel and surf the internet, participate in International Forums or enjoy the opportunities that English language and cutler has to offer.

English in Spain is not as difficult as it seems. But it implies both our bodies and our minds. It engages our psychology, our fears, our self-esteem.

The process of becoming a fluent speaker in a conversational setting is not easy or short. But we shall create the appropriate and safe atmosphere in which participants can develop their oral expression in an effective way.
