Our events

This is our largest and most ambitious endeavour yet dedicated to various aspects of language learning, including pronunciation, memory tricks, useful life hacks for learning English and practical applications of the language for professional development. During this two-day forum, we offer a comprehensive agenda with sections tailored to specific needs of different audiences, such as people interested in English, young teachers, students and children. We invite experienced teachers, travellers, entrepreneurs, international students and representatives of various businesses as speakers at our English Fest forum.
The key feature of this format is complete immersion of the participants in the language. During this three-day gateway, we encourage everyone to try and speak in English only. We speak English not only during the dedicated activities, quests, speaking clubs or sessions from our speakers, but also in-between the activities and in all social interactions. Even when having a meal or solving organisational issues with the organisers, the participants use English.
Quizzes in English
It is a team game where teams compete to answer a number of questions from various areas of knowledge, such as geography, science, art, language, etc. "Блин, I don’t understand" quizzes are perfect for boosting your general knowledge, learning new facts and expanding your vocabulary.
