English conversation

Come and join us on Tuesday mornings for English conversation practice, where a whole range of different topics will be discussed. We split into small groups and chat informally about various subjects. There is no pressure to participate and you are welcome to come along and listen too. There is no need to sign up for this group,  just come and find us at The University Centre. We look forward to seeing you soon.
