Hello everyone 👋 I’m currently practicing English, and I believe many of you here are doing the same. At the moment, our group is still quite small and there isn’t much interaction yet. Maybe both you and I are still a bit shy when it comes to communicating.However, I think having a small group is actually a good thing. Because if we connect and communicate with each other, that itself is already a great way to practice English. I’d like to suggest an idea and hope everyone can consider it: Each day, the admin provides one common topic. We use that topic to practice speaking by creating our own ideas, writing a short script, and recording a video to share in the group. Everyone can watch, give feedback, and encourage each other. In addition, if possible, we could also have online speaking practice sessions via Zoom (or another platform) to practice real-time communication together. What do you think about this idea? Are you okay with giving it a try? 😊 “I feel really sad to hear that the admin is thinking about closing the group.” 🔊 Besides learning English, we can also help each other through language exchange. If you’re interested in Vietnamese, I’d be glad to help.
