TV club's summer schedule ⬇️
Sometimes when you join an English book or a movie speaking club, it doesn’t help you improve your English level or even practise your speaking skills.
Why does it happen? Of course there can be lots of different personal reasons but mostly it is because a person is afraid of making mistakes or ashamed of their speaking skill.
How do I solve this problem at TV club?
I invite B1-C2 (intermediate - proficiency).
To keep everyone mostly comfortable in the company of their peers.
Puzzle: M (find all 5 puzzle pieces to create a promocode)

Most people when speaking English tend to be afraid of judgement from other people. Being worried about others saying something about your mistakes is natural. I have a solution for that one too. TV club is a no judgement zone!
Grammar nazi (or language pedant) is a person who compulsively points out and corrects grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors in the speech or writing of othersare NOT WELCOME
TV Club rules:
1)All opinions are welcome but don’t make it personal.
2)We agree to disagree.
3)The magic phrase is: ‘Oh, and I saw it from a different perspective…’
All these rules are to help you chat with people and share your thoughts without stressing over every single word.
In the next message I will tell you about a weekly TV series pilot we shall watch in the club and how it works on a practical level.

In TV series, the first episode is called the pilot episode*.
I piked entertaining or unusual TV series to watch for us but you are free to suggest something for the future too.
You may also worry about hating the episode even if it's not to your liking, you may still have fun sharing your opinion and commenting on the plot or the characters.
*Of course you can skip watching it altogether and just come to shoot the shot or listen to other people’s opinions but you will be missing out on extensive listening and an opportunity to broaden your TV show horizons.
In the next message I’ll tell you how it all works on a practical level at an asynchronous speaking club.
