A message from Belinda Ginns:

This course is about learning everyday real English in a relaxed environment, through interactive methods.

At the end of the 5 week course participants will have a basic understand of how the western culture came about, and the influence it has on different aspects of life in in the U.K : it’s language, history, arts, social beliefs and practices. Each session will highlight a different basic aspect of the English language, so as to help participants to start communicating effectively in their everyday lives.   After the first 5 sessions, we will go more deeply into language usage for those who are interested. My book ‘Real English’ is unfortunately out of print but I will be using some of the materials in the book when suitable.   Richmond is a convenient location to get to, with a choice of access by the London tube (last stop on the District line) and the London overground train (operated by South Western). You can also reach there by bus. Vineyard Life Church is a short 10 min walk from the station. Its nearby Richmond park is famous for its natural beauty and wild life. Maybe you can spot a deer or two in one of your leisurely walks before or after the lesson!   Hope to see you in class!
