Event Description

Improve your English skills, read classic stories, and make friends!

Come and read a short story slowly over a few weeks.

Everyone takes a turn reading a sentence, with a translation in their own language. We will stop to talk about the words and the story as we go on.

Will last 30 minutes with the rest of the time for chatting over tea and coffee.

Children welcome.

If you are an advanced speaker of English and another language and wish to help, please get in touch.
