FAQs

What is Watch and Talk about TED?

It’s an informal social event where you can practise your English speaking skills by sharing your own thoughts and opinions about a TED Talk. Watch the above vide to get an idea.

Is it for me?

If you are ready to express your thoughts with clarity (but not, necessarily, perfection!) in English, yes!

These debates are suitable for “strong intermediate” (B2) and above.

How much is it?

The first three times you come are completely free.

After that, it's 5€ per session to help cover the cost of the meeting space.

Heads Up!

This is not an official TED(x) Talk! We are an in-company language school and we simply want to create events where you can practise your English, meet new people and share your passion for TED Talks with interesting and stimulating conversations.

Sounds interesting! What is the format of the event?

Good question! First of all, we warm up by sharing some general opinions on the topic (keep reading for that!).

After that, we watch the video together, clip by clip, and summarise the main points.

Now for the best part…

We consider the topic from various points of view including “local” and personal and ‘get the knives out’ with some critical thinking!

And finally, we reflect on the language used in the videos to help boost your vocabulary.

Should I watch the video before the event?

You “can” watch the video before the debate, perhaps to sort out your ideas and sharpen your arguments, but some would say it is more interesting to discover the topic together and not watch the video beforehand, but it is a personal choice.

Will there be subtitles?

Yes! Unlike in our language training, we watch the video with subtitles so that we can focus on the topic and not sweat too much!

What is the topic of TED Talk?

You can see the topic (and a few elated questions to get your mind working!) on the website:

Sounds good but I can’t make it this time.

No worries. See you at the next one then - they are (about) every three weeks.
