Last night we divided the club into two groups--a more advanced group and a less advanced group. The cafe has a large room in the basement as well as the main floor, so the lower intermediate students went downstairs and I had the upper intermediate/advanced students push all of the cafe tables together for one long table. We had so many people come, and were even missing a few regular attendees! I'm so thankful for the chance to teach English here and to develop good friendships with the people in my adopted city.
Monday nights at the cafe "Why Not?" a group of 15-20 Bulgarians gather to learn and practice English. We have students who are on the very low end of intermediate (really, they're at the beginning of language learning) all the way to students who speak English with American or British accents. What sets this club apart from others that I've been involved in is the average age of the students. I'm used to young people wanting to learn and improve their English, and we do have some young people attending, but many of the students are in their late 60s or older. I absolutely love teaching this group! They have amazing stories and I love hearing about their lives in Bulgaria and how things have changed in the past 60 years.
