Not only many people are interested in foreign language conversation but also its importance has been raising these days. So they go abroad to study foreign language. However you don't have to hang on the study language abroad. I'm going to send the message who is really interested in foreign language conversation. I'm going to give them a solution from this presentation. It is international club. So I'm going to write about how you can join a club, what we can do there and all sorts of it. Also I've been going there every week, so I'm going to talk my experience and I can tell its merits or demerits. I've brought many friends there, they were surprised. They told me they don't know this kind of club before. So I wish that many people could know this club and take advantage of this program. |
Many companies had been betrayed by TOEIC test grade. It means that they who just aboard the company couldn't speak English well even though they got high score in TOEIC test. So most companies evaluate the conversation skill of applicants these days. As the world is getting smaller and smaller, it's very easy to contact with foreigners. Not only many people are interested in foreign language conversation but also its importance has been raising these days. Accordingly, many people go abroad to learn foreign language and they spend an enormous amount of money there. I think this is not the only way to learn speaking foreign language. You don't have to hang on the study language abroad. Have you heard about 'International club'? From now on I'll introduce this club to you. I'm sure that this club is the greatest solution for them who really want to speak foreign language on a shoestring. What's the 'international club'? In brief, you can meet many foreigners there, you can speak only foreign languages. I go to 'Hana club' every Friday. 'Hana club' is one of the famous 'international club' in Korea. I've been there for six months and I love it so much. Actually I've been California to learn English for six months. It was also great time. However compare the two cases, 'Hana club' is as good as going abroad. Anyways an activities in 'Hana club' is greatly composed of three activities. There are 'Regular meeting', 'Study group' and 'Big party'. 'Hana club' is made up of three big groups. One is English group, another is Japanese group and the other is Chinese group. First, What is the 'Regular meeting'? Chinese group has a regular meeting every Tuesday night. Japanese group has it every Thursday night. And English group has it every Wednesday and Friday night. I'll give you some informations about English group meeting. Actually I've never been Chinese and Japanese meeting before. So I know English group meeting well. There are two groups when you participate the meeting. One group is made up of 7~8 members. One is you can speak only English, and the other is you can speak Korean and English. You can choose whatever you want. I recommend the group where you can speak only English. Anyways you can drink unlimited beer and ice tea. You can eat some nachos and popcorns. You can have a conversation with English native speaker and be a good friend with them. It seems to be fun, isn't it? Second, What is the 'study group'? It's study group to the letter as you know before. However it's not a 'study group' of preparing 'TOEIC' or 'TOEFL' tests. It's an actual English study group with conversation. Teachers are native English speakers. There are few people a group. They use many materials. For example watching American videos or dramas, having presentations and so on. Anyways the most important thing is that it supports them to improve their speaking skills. Also fee is much cheaper than other speaking institutions. Third, What is the 'Big party'? It sounds fun, isn't it? It's so great to the letter. It is held every third Saturday. We are together irrespective of their nationality. Chinese, Japanese, American and others come into same place. Then we hang out together with drinking beer and talking together. It's very interesting. Therefore we can have a good experience by those programs. I'm also having a good experience every week. An excellent quality of 'international club' is on the small cost. If you utilize those programs well, you will be able to take a great effect of your English on a shoestring. Not only you can meet many foreigners, but also you can meet nice people there. I've met many nice people there and I'm keeping in touch with them. I think it's a good way to form a clique. However there are some demerits, there. I'll give you some examples in 'Hana club'. Many people come to 'Hana club' to learn English and meet people. But some guys go there to hook up girls. This is main purpose for them. There are many beautiful women there. Generally women visitors outnumber male visitors there by 6:4. Not only we feel uncomfortable but also those happenings bring disgrace on the 'Hana club'. Moreover 'Hana club' cannot control people well because too many people come at the same moment. So it isn't systematic in the way that they run this international club. For this reason some people lose their purpose(Improve English speaking) and they just hang out and waste of time there. I think this problem is the most important. So they need to improve I guess. If this club complement those things, it will be a great program. 'Hana club' aside there are many international clubs in Korea. 'Best friend', 'English power station', and so on. They have different programs each. Actually there are numerous international clubs in Korea. Why do you think that this kind of clubs are increasing these days? Because it's good and nice! We waste our money a lot to go abroad to learn foreign language as I said again. So you don't have to hang on the study language abroad. I want to say "Do not just leave this country.". There are many good programs like international club near at hand. I've brought many friends there, then they were surprised. They told me they don't know this kind of club before. Many people don't know this kind of club like this. So I wish that many people could know this club and take advantage of this program. Go to international club and join the club right now. I can assure you won't regret your choice. |
