Community Profile: Honza
Did you know that MOSAIC engage offers a free weekly conversation group every Wednesday at 5:00pm?! Today we talked to Honza who is originally from the Czech Republic and has been living in Vancouver for the past 5 months. Honza is a regular participant in our weekly conversation class and has shared some of his experiences and tips with us below!
Why do you like to join the conversation group?
“I visit many of these conversation groups but I think this is the best one because it’s a quiet classroom and not so noisy so it’s not difficult to listen or hear someone. I also like that the teachers help us. There is no problem to ask questions and I feel more smart after. We have discussed many topics. Last week we talked about crime and health.”
What tips and advice do you have for people who are trying to learn English?
“Not just staying home. Maybe some think, ‘Now I’m in Vancouver so now I can just stay home and will learn English.’ But it’s not the way. You have to socialize with each other. For me it’s very interesting. Because of that I’ve met many really good people, like Hansen. So it’s my tip not to stay home. Explore new places and socialize.”
