The Real World
Nice at meetings but a jerk in the real world? You're out.
Meetings
-
Stick to your fluency level. Attending a fluency level higher or lower than your own reduces the quality of valuable practice time for the members who are at that level.
-
Your fluency level should change over time. Addie will let you know if she thinks your ready to move up.
-
If you take a break from practicing (or if you are really stressed out), your level might go down. Considering that our community is fluency-focused, Addie will tell you if you need to move levels (see the first bullet point). But take heart! Fluency often comes back quickly, after some practice (trust me!).
-
-
-
Side conversations are generally discouraged, being a distraction to the speaker and to others at the meeting. It is better to let the speaker finish, and then present your comments and questions to the group.
-
British English says: the loo, a lorry. American English says: the restroom, a truck. We do not adhere to any specific variation of Spanish, so don't offer corrections - be curious!
-
Discussion meetings: Do not correct other attendees. Excessive correction absolutely discourages growth, so please leave the corrections to Addie, unless she opens the floor for comments. Remember, our goal is not perfection - it is confidence and comprehension.
