I know it's been a long since our last speaking club. These past few months have been full of travelling, events, and meeting people. Btw, tomorrow I'm going to a new country ✈️🤪

And I have some time today and tomorrow, and I'd really like to discuss one thing with you, if you could join the club on such short notice, ofc

What I want to talk about:

Recently I remembered one story. I remember some details about that day... but I couldn't figure out whether it actually happened to me or it was just a dream or my imagination ..
And I still don't know, and I have nobody to ask about it since I was alone. That's why I wanna talk about how memory works.

Here's the TedTalk you could watch if you have some time (17 min, it's simple), but it's not necessary.

FREE SPEAKING CLUB TOMORROW 🎉

1️⃣ Tuesday, September the 15th at 12:00 MSK.

2️⃣ We're going to discuss "How memory works". You could watch the TedTalk about the topic (17min).

3️⃣ A2-C1 levels (working in small groups at your level).

4️⃣ Discussion questions will be provided during the meeting.

5️⃣ The meeting link will appear in the chat 5 minutes before.

❗️Please send a + in the comments if you’re planning to join❗️

As usual, I love our meetings sooo much, thanks everyone for your input – sharing experiences and fascinating thoughts 🥹🤍

I hope we could meet soon, but don't wanna promise anything anymore, cause don't want to disappoint you and myself 🙈

I would be happy to read your opinions about this👇🏼 in the comments:

“A person is basically the sum of their memories.” Do you agree?

Hi, everyone! 🤍

I’m back from my trip and finally have plenty of time for Speaking Clubs again!

So, I’m happy to announce the dates for our free Boltalkas in November in advance, so you can plan your time accordingly 👀

Hope to see lots of familiar faces! And please feel free to join even if it’s your first time, I promise it’ll be fun and not scary at all! 🧚‍♀️

The next BOLTALKA's going to be on “The Riddle of Experience vs. Memory”, based on an interesting TED Talk.

I’d say it’s slightly tricky topic, so it’s worth watching the talk carefully to get the main ideas. To make things a little easier, I’ve prepared some vocabulary exercises to help you get familiar with the key words and expressions beforehand👇🏼

You could get access to this chat for a month for just $5 HERE

+ there's already some useful materials on Effective communication:
- 3 TedTalk videos with useful vocabulary from it
- exercises with this vocabulary + Quizlet sets so you can study it anytime
- interesting questions to practice the vocabulary
- and 3 videos with english idioms on different topics :)

OMG, I was super nervous, and I don’t even know exactly why! So I guess my experiencing self was a little stressed, but thanks to your kindness and positive energy, I’m sure my remembering self will hold on to the most beautiful memories of this event 🥹🤍

Once again, thank you all for joining and hope to see you next time 👀

I’d be really happy to hear your feedback and aaaaaand any thoughts you might have on this question:

“If happiness depends more on how we remember our lives than on how we actually experience them, does it really matter what happens to us, or only how we remember it?”
