In this English version of How-to-Speak Salon, you will be required to make an impromptu speech on a topic provided by one of the other participants, answer questions on your speech from your listeners, then receive their feedback on your speech and response. This will be a great chance for you to brush up your communication skills.
Kevin, one of the participants of the previous event, said "It was great to communicate with others in English. The topics are interesting and each person gave a different perspective.” Jeremy, another participant, said, "It was particularly fun to discuss gay-themed topics while practicing our speaking techniques.”
The two-hour event will be held in English only.
