We have some simple rules to make sure everyone has a good time learning English:

• Speak English Only: Always use English during lessons. If you’re stuck, try to say it another way or move on to another question.
• Be in a Quiet Place When Speaking: Make sure you’re in a quiet spot so everyone can hear you clearly.
• Camera On: Turn on your camera during group lessons to create a friendly atmosphere.
• Be Kind: Always be nice to everyone in the lesson, to your teachers, and to other learners.
• Be Inclusive: Accept and welcome people from all backgrounds.
• Stay Positive: Help and encourage your fellow learners.
• Use Nice Words: Avoid bad language and be respectful in your words.
• Keep Secrets: Do not share anyone’s personal information.
• Follow Rules: Listen to the teachers and follow the rules in each class.

It’s okay to feel shy! Many people learning English feel the same, especially when speaking in front of others. Our lessons are a safe place where you can practice speaking without worry. Here are some tips to help you feel less shy:

• Prepare Beforehand: Before the lesson, think about the topic and come up with some ideas or questions you might want to talk about. This will make you feel ready and more confident to speak.

• Practice Alone: If you’re nervous about talking in front of others, try practicing by yourself first. You can record yourself talking about a topic and then listen to it. This will help you see what you do well and what you can improve.

• Focus on the Conversation: Don’t think too much about how you sound or what others think. Pay attention to the discussion and try to add your thoughts in a useful way.

• Take Risks: It’s okay to make mistakes. Try new things and learn from any errors. Remember, everyone is here to learn and support each other!
