Conversation Course
English for interesting people
Šnekamosios anglų kalbos kursas
Brush up your vocabulary, boost your confidence, and improve your spoken fluency
- Small groups - A small group of 4-8 people offers the safety to boost your confidence.
- Levels - Every effort will be made to place you with people at a similar level so you feel comfortable and the course materials are understandable but still challenging enough to be interesting. However, your attitude to taking part and willingness to speak are more important than your traditional 'level'.
- "But I don't know English grammar!" - There is very little systematic grammar input on these short courses because the focus is on communication. Instead, you will be corrected if you make a mistake. If you expect a more thorough approach, choose a General English course instead!
- "I want to improve my vocabulary" - The courses are designed thematically so you will boost your knowledge of general topics and will be able to hold a discussion in English. You'll also need to work hard to learn and use the new phrases you are exposed to - this course is not a miracle cure for your English. It will provide a chance for you to focus on building your active and passive vocabulary.
- "But I'm shy" - this doesn't matter. My mission is to get you speaking! However, students in these groups should be willing to try and speak and contribute to discussions. You will not break down the language barrier unless you make an effort you join in - I can't help you unless you try! So get stuck in and join a group today.
- Materials: I teach using a range of materials, many of which are authentic or self-written to meet the needs of my Lithuanian students. I'll give you all the materials and hopefully show you some good strategies for absorbing and using the new vocabulary you will meet.
- Topics include: Health, Crime, Politics, Current Affairs, Ethics, Sport, Business, Lithuanian food and culture + your ideas/random requests!

Where? How do I find you?
Located "slap bang" in the centre of the life-blood of Vilnius (Gedimino pr.), EnglishTeacher.lt is easily accessible from all areas of the city.
Take a trolleybus to 'Kudirkos aikstė', 'Opera', or 'Islandijos' stops. Alternatively, take the cute new 88 or 89 bus which will deliver you within metres of the door (stop: 'Mažasis teatras'). If you drive, you can park near the Opera Theatre or 'Pramogų Bankas'.
I am located on the 7th floor of this wonderful curvy building (Kooperatyvų sąjunga). The actual door is round the corner from the 'Iki' supermarket - you'll see the entrance from Stulginskio g.
