Learners will interact with the instructor and each other to learn how to keep their conversational skills "in the zone" in order to build communication confidence and peer relationships. I am keeping enrollment small on purpose so that students have maximal chances to practice their emerging skills. We'll discuss certain social situations, practice scripts, problem-solve, troubleshoot, and discuss. Because learners excel differently, multiple modalities are used: text, photos, drawings, lecture, discussion, gestures.

Class 1: Brush up on what it means to be "in the zone" or "out of the zone"; what we think versus what we say; convo practice.
Class 2: Review what we think versus what we say; picking conversational topics by knowing your audience; convo practice.
Class 3: Review picking conversational topics; asking questions; turn taking; convo practice.

My teaching style is engaging, warm, enthusiastic, real, and empathetic. 

All types of learners welcome!

Learners might want to take Level 1 first or concurrently, but that is not required at all (a quick review of Level 1 skills is done at the first class meeting).
