In this ongoing class students will begin class with introducing themselves and answering the question of the day or a fun ice breaker game. Students will practice taking turns speaking and work on listening skills as they each take a turn to share what they brought to class. They may also choose to tell a story or show a picture.  Suggestions/themes for each day will be posted prior to class. Each student will be given ample time to talk and ask questions. Students may drink “tea” or their preferred beverage and have snack as we share, chat, and develop friendships from around the world.
