🧬 This Friday: Personality Tests – Science or Nonsense?
🗓 30 May 16:00 CET

Are you a cat person or a dog person?
An early bird or a night owl?
A Slytherin or just misunderstood?

This week we’re diving into the fascinating (and slightly suspicious) world of personality tests – from the Big Five to Buzzfeed quizzes.


✨ Do they actually tell us who we are? Or are we just choosing our favourite labels?

Come ready to reflect, connect, and possibly disagree about star sign descriptors.

🫣 This Friday: Sorry Not Sorry – The Art of Apologizing
🗓 When: Friday, 16:00 CET

Why do we say “sorry” so much? And what makes a good apology, anyway?
This week we’ll explore how to apologize (and how not to) – at work, in life, and across cultures.

💬 We'll practice language that sounds sincere (but not insecure), discuss awkward situations, and do a role-play or two that might hit too close to home.

🙈 Apologies for the dad jokes in advance. But not really.

Specially for @alex_zharkov_job– here’s probably the most British politeness video on the internet.

This Friday at 16:00 CET, we’re diving into all things “sorry” – even when it’s not your fault.

See you soon – no apologies necessary

💼 This Friday: Is it professional ?
🗓 16:00 CET, time zone

What counts as “professional”?
✅ Saying sorry 5 times?
✅ Always looking busy with a coffee?
✅ Smiling through the chaos?
✅ Or knowing when to break the rules? (Oh, hi, Cristina)

This week we’re getting into:
awkward work moments
apologies that actually work
culture clashes (because "professional" means VERY different things)

Expect laughs, debates, and a few “oh no, that happened to me too” stories. 😬

🎭 This Friday: To Lie or Not to Lie?

What are the ethics of lying?
White lies, tiny lies, big fat lies…
We all do it sometimes — but where’s the line?
Is lying ever actually OK? 🤔

This Friday, join us for a very honest (or not) conversation on:
✔️ White lies in Tinder profiles
✔️ Tricky work dilemmas
✔️ Ethical mind games

Not gonna lie — it's gonna be fun 😄

🎈This Friday: Me, Myself & I 🍷👑

It’s my birthday week, which means we finally get to talk about the most overdue topic: ourselves.

Not the polished CV version — the human one.

This Friday, we’ll share stories about:
✔️ Things we’ve done (like left a restaurant without paying…)
✔️ Things we might never do (would you steal? eat raw meat?)
✔️ The best thing anyone ever said to you

Bring your best story, your party hat, and your drink of choice 🥂

📢 This Friday: Dear English, We Need to Talk...

Do you ever feel like English is gaslighting you with phrasal verbs and five ways to say “sorry”?
This week, we’ll unpack our complicated relationship with the world’s most demanding second language.

Topics we’ll explore:
✔️ Is English actually the best option for a global language?
✔️ Would you rather speak “Newspeak” (Orwell-style)?
✔️ How accents, idioms and weird rules confuse or connect us
✔️ AND — a dramatic round of “Sorry, Not Sorry” charades

Lost an evening scrolling TikTok without meaning to?

💬 our habits
🧠 our emotions

🧓 This Friday: What does it mean to be an adult?

Bills, broken boilers or burnt lasagna? 🍳
They say adulting is more than just a number but what is it exactly?

This week we’re diving into:
✔️ Milestones that make us feel grown-up (or not)
✔️ Extended adolescence and Gen Z
✔️ Whether voting age or social media limits make sense
✔️ Very real “I guess I’m an adult now” moments

🕓 Friday 16:00 CET, 17:00 MSK

Adulting experience optional 😄

This Friday: Meme Culture
Laughs, Likes & What They Really Say

Are memes just jokes, or are they modern art?
Do they reflect our culture… or replace our conversations?

Join us this week as we explore:
✔️ Why memes go viral
✔️ How they shape communication, politics, and even workplace culture
✔️ Whether memes make us smarter (or yes, of course)

⚠️ Note: This is our last speaking club before the August break — the club will be on holiday for the whole month, so don’t miss your final chance to meme with us before September!

Dear friends, pals, pumpkins

I feel the need to apologize for not restarting our sessions as promised. I was planning to relaunch Club sessions in September, then I moved them to October now I’m not sure if I would be getting to them anytime soon.

Truth is, I ve been overwhelmed and burnt out lately with many multiple professional and personal projects at the same time that suck what’s left of my energy and enthusiasm.

I know many of you benefited, enjoyed and learnt during these sessions and it is my number one priority to get them back to running weekly as sons as I get my shit together (find how the manage workload sustainably)

Thank you for the continuous support and kindness.

Many hugs and kisses blown,
Anna
