Anticafe Wooden Door

A unique anti-cafe with communication in foreign languages. Meetings of the English Speaking Club (“English Speaking Club”) are held regularly, but you can communicate in English at any time - all administrators speak the language at a high level, and one of them is a foreigner who does not understand a word of Russian. The classes are free, but you need to pay for the standard time spent in the anti-cafe (2 rubles per minute in the first hour, subsequent ones - 1 ruble per minute).

The AMC, which is essentially an American-style library, hosts conversation clubs on various topics. For example, you can talk to employees of the American Embassy in Moscow.

In order for a master to hone his skills, and for a beginner to learn, a kind of “testing ground” is required: this is exactly what it can become.

“Language will bring it to England” - language practice without leaving Moscow.

And putting knowledge into practice is usually an expensive and lengthy process: it’s one thing to know it, and quite another to put it into practice. But you can get good language practice in Moscow and there is a free solution to this problem!

In Moscow there are meeting places for both amateurs and English gurus - conversation clubs that you can visit absolutely free and spend time usefully.

3. There are clubs for “beginners” - communication from scratch.
4. Allows you to master the format of “fluent speech” - fluency in the language.
5. .
6. Interesting and informal meeting format.

Meetings in the “no tie” format

Any learning involves rules, fear of the word “to the board,” a teacher and homework. In a conversation club, you acquire invaluable without these components: fun and exciting!

The meeting place cannot be changed or “shall we speak English?”:

• For those who have the opportunity to visit the club for free at the Institute for Humanitarian Development. Meeting format: friendly communication in English over a cup of tea, discussion of news or films and entertainment in the form of English board games. By the way, this is the most common format for holding meetings in English speaking clubs.

• There is a cinema format for meetings of “English speaking people”, like the conversation club “Movie Discussion Club” with free admission, which is located in the ZIL cultural center. In the evenings there are group viewings of English-language films with English subtitles. This format is suitable for language users at an intermediate level and above, since after viewing there is an active discussion of the film and all kinds of discussions.

• The “lecture plus communication” format, answers to questions and a lesson in a “narrow circle” are quite popular For example, such meetings are held in the English HOG-Words conversation club. An interesting option for those who speak English at an intermediate level and want to improve it as much as possible.

The golden rule of the conversation club

This rule of ethics is very important in such “meetings”: do not interrupt each other, and respect the opinion of each member of the club! Since a conversation club is a place for gaining knowledge and honing language skills in a comfortable environment of casual conversation.

The main thing is to “be on topic”

In English speaking clubs, meetings are usually devoted to a specific topic.. You need to find out about the topic in advance by phone or on the “Vkontakte” page, by email and prepare in advance.

Especially if this is not just a conversational meeting, but speeches and further discussion on the topic (such meetings are held in English HOG-Words). Participants can also propose their own options for topics, and the organizer will choose the best one for the event.

Topics at meetings

1. news – discussion of the “hottest” latest news;
2. films - joint viewing and discussions;
3. narrow-profile topics: holidays, “how I spent my summer,” first-person narration;
4. wide-format topics that are always relevant: sports, travel, healthy lifestyle, culinary topics.

Free conversation clubs in Moscow for beginners

In 2011, there was a wave of opening of all kinds of speaking clubs in Moscow and there were quite a lot of “free” options. Now most of them have closed or reclassified as paid ones.

Basically, there are conversation clubs with free access for those who speak the language at an upper-intermediate level. But there is still gunpowder in the flasks!

We need to take a closer look at the current free conversation clubs for beginners:

How to get to the free conversation club?

There are a lot of options: either you need to get a library card, as in the Russian Library for Youth; or register in a VK group or send an email, as in the Institute for Humanitarian Development.

There are options when entry is absolutely free- this is the anti-cafe Tsiferblat and Woodendoor, and the English Club Oxbridge, so we welcome newcomers everywhere!

Since the dates and times of all conversation clubs are different, you can visit them all and choose the most comfortable place for yourself. The main thing is not to think too long: knowledge comes with practice and real communication. Good luck!
