This month’s Reading & Communication Club at Better English was built around "Time Wise" by Amantha Imber. We talked about time, focus, priorities, productivity and the way small choices shape how we work and live.

The format is simple:

- one carefully selected book or article,
- one session per month,
- guided discussion + vocabulary activation + plenty of speaking practice,
- feedback at the end,

all in a small group and a friendly atmosphere.

We practise thinking and speaking in English, while improving fluency and becoming more confident in expressing ideas naturally.

Looking forward to our next session in June! 📖

Following the strong interest and excellent feedback from previous participants, I’m opening registrations for a new round of my online workshop:

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

Many professionals speak English well, yet still struggle to:
– express disagreement clearly;
– give honest feedback;
– set boundaries without sounding rude;
– feel confident in difficult conversations.

At a certain professional level, these challenges are rarely about grammar and vocabulary, but more about clarity, confidence and assertiveness.

That is why I created this workshop, ideal for professionals who:

• work in business or international environments
• already have a minimum B2 level of English
• want to sound clearer, more confident and more professional
• struggle with difficult conversations, feedback or saying “no”
• want practical tools they can apply immediately

𝗕𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼:
- express opinions, needs and limits clearly and confidently
- handle challenging conversations with more calm and control
- give and receive feedback more effectively
- sound assertive without being aggressive or overly diplomatic
- use practical language frameworks for real professional (and personal) situations
