English is hard, but why is it especially hard ...
English is hard, but why is it especially hard for Chinese learners? Why are there some common mistakes which most Chinese learners continue to make throughout their lives? Which mistakes are ok and which ones aren't?_x000D_

Most people on Earth speak English as a second language and they all make mistakes regularly. But Chinese people in particular make certain mistakes that cause funny and sometimes dangerous miscommunications. These miscommunications can cause people to not trust you and that's a shame. Let's fix that!_x000D_

The good news, my friend, is that it's not your fault! _x000D_

Most Chinese people have been programmed to make these mistakes. Let's spend two hours together to unprogram them. Let's talk about why they're dangerous and what to do when we inevitably make them again._x000D_

This club will be about talking casually and thinking critically. It will not be about boring memorization, because that is what gave you problems in the first place._x000D_

Davie will also give you some tools and tips to better learn in the future and, as always, he'll do it in a casual and fun way!_x000D_
