Module 1: English for Socialising & Small Talk

Build Confidence. Speak Naturally. Connect Globally.

Are you tired of feeling awkward in social situations when speaking English? Do you freeze up during small talk, worry about making mistakes, or wish you sounded more natural?

You're not alone — and you're in the right place.
This module is designed specifically for motivated learners at B1 to C2 level who want to speak English more confidently, naturally, and effectively in real-life social situations.

Whether you want to make friends while traveling, feel more comfortable at international events, or simply connect better with others in English, this course will give you the tools, language, and confidence you need.

Why Social English Matters

Let’s be honest — mastering grammar is great, but real conversations aren’t textbook-perfect. They’re spontaneous, emotional, and often culturally nuanced.

Being able to socialize in English opens doors:

✔ You’ll connect with people from around the world.
✔ You'll feel less isolated when traveling or relocating.
✔ You'll sound more confident and capable at work or networking events.
✔ You’ll feel proud of yourself for being able to express your personality — not just your vocabulary.

My Approach: Real-World English for Real People

Forget dry grammar drills and isolated vocabulary lists. My classes focus on practical application, immersing you in scenarios that mirror everyday life and professional situations. I know you're looking for authenticity, and that's exactly what I deliver. I address those "pain points" you've likely experienced – the fear of freezing up, the struggle with fast-paced native speech, and the desire for specific vocabulary in practical situations.

I believe that true fluency comes from consistent, confident practice in relevant contexts. My modules are designed to systematically build your skills, from making a great first impression to expressing complex ideas and navigating cultural nuances.

What You’ll Learn in This Module

This module covers five powerful subtopics that reflect the situations you're most likely to face — and struggle with — in the real world. Each one includes role-plays, activities, vocabulary, grammar practice, and real-world conversation skills.

1. Making Introductions & Small Talk 

Learn to introduce yourself and others with ease, break the ice in conversations, and chat about daily topics — without feeling awkward or robotic.

You’ll practice:

• Greetings and polite conversational fillers
• Talking about hobbies, travel, and work
• Asking and answering follow-up questions
• Swapping contact info naturally

📌 Activities include: speed networking, analyzing authentic conversations

2. Expressing Opinions, Agreement & Disagreement 

Ever feel nervous about saying what you think in English?

I’ll give you the tools to express your thoughts clearly, respectfully, and confidently — even when you disagree.

You’ll learn to:

• Share your views using natural phrases
• Use polite interruptions and hedging language
• Debate and discuss real topics comfortably

📌 Activities: debates, structured group chats, opinion games

3. Social Etiquette & Cultural Nuances 

Saying the right thing in one culture can be totally wrong in another. This topic helps you understand cultural expectations and use English that's both polite and appropriate — wherever you are.

You’ll explore:

• Customs and taboos across cultures
• How to read between the lines
• The right tone, body language, and politeness strategies

📌 Activities: cultural case studies, video analysis, real-scenario roleplays

4. Inviting, Accepting & Declining 

Struggle to invite someone out or decline politely?

I’ll teach you how to make plans — and change or decline them — in a friendly and respectful way.

You’ll practice phrases for:

• Making invitations
• Accepting and showing enthusiasm
• Declining gently and suggesting alternatives

📌 Activities: crafting invitations, polite negotiation games, role-playing; making, accepting and declining invitations.

5. Giving & Receiving Compliments & Apologies 

A well-timed compliment or sincere apology can build trust and improve relationships. This topic shows you how to do both — with authenticity.

You’ll focus on:

• Complimenting sincerely
• Accepting compliments confidently
• Apologizing with empathy
• Responding gracefully

📌 Activities: language analysis, empathy-building roleplays
