In this class, we will be learning all about the art of conversation! This is an art form that may be dying out with. So much communication is done via technology these days, we need to brush up on our conversation skills! This is a fun and stress free course that will help learners feel more comfortable when having face to face conversations with others. We will be learning the rules of conversation, how to politely change the subject, get some tips and conversation starters, and a whole lesson on what not to do in conversation. This is a great skill that can benefit everyone! Each lesson will take roughly 30 minutes to complete. I will be available via message if you have any questions, and will be checking yoru assessments in Nearpod! Enroll today! "See" you in class!
