Language is a second image of ourselves after our face! However, it is not easy to create this portrait properly!
Have you ever thought about how difficult it is sometimes for people who don't know English well, to find a light in the end of the tunnel? I know the place where you can always find a friend!
I don't know if you believe in magic or not, but I do! I have been going to the magic FREE English as a Second Language classes since 2015. I have been chosen! You probably want to ask me why the classes are magic. That's a good question. I can explain it to you.
The magic subject which we're all learning is a language! Still have no idea why it's a magic? I know. It's kind of hard to imagine the feeling when you are completely out of the context. Well, before you learn the new language, you can not express yourself. You are a ghost for other people. You seem like you're here but you not, because you are dumb like a fish.
Does it seem like a tragedy? Maybe a little bit, but don't forget about magic!
As you begin to learn a language, at first you don't realize what happened with you, but now you can understand more than you can say. After a few magic lessons you already know how to make a small conversation with other people. Suddenly you are watching a movie, calling the energy company, hanging out with your new friends. Can you say that it is not magical?
I'm pretty sure you want to know what's going on in my magic classes! Alright, I'll give you an example!
One day my class and I had a magic lesson. It was called "make your dreams come true". The task was pretty easy on the first view. Each of us had been thinking about his or her dream, which should come true by the end of the lesson. But it would be possible only if your classmates help you. You know it's all about team work!
So, we were making guesses: everybody was asking everybody about everything. And when somebody asked you something about your dream, you had to do only one thing - reply correctly to the question! Simple? I guess so, but not everybody completed this task successfully.
You can say that some of these dreams are funny. But everyone has the right to dream.
We had a great experience to practice our magic language and to make our dreams come true!
You just have a dream, my friend, and maybe one day doors of the magic school will be opening for you.
