Conversations

Let’s talk in English.

Upon discovering this need for English lessons, I never imagined the need to be so great.

Hundreds of messages pour into my TikTok and Instagram accounts from individuals hoping to connect in this digital world via Zoom. The fact that I am offering an hour for free will make for an interesting Zoom session with an update to come soon.

Why is there such a need? Mostly they want to speak to a foreigner I assume. As this movement began on the beach in Kedungu Bali, it will be interesting to see how it will play out in a Zoom class with people that are already familiar to me.

This is the key I think.

Why the huge outpouring of requests? I assume that it is because they feel they know me from TikTok. They watch my TikTok Live. I assume they feel they know me.

This is also interesting because I know many of them by the logo or avatar, they choose for their TikTok. Some have personal pictures and others use cartoon characters or logos.

Either way, it will be interesting to put a face to a name. Ok, sometimes the names are interesting as well. Such as my friend Eka, Pen, and User-VIP.

In this crazy world of TikTok, I assume that we will have some very interesting conversations both in TikTok and on zoom.

They get to talk back!

This for me is easy. I will look at each Zoom user as one of my TikTok fans. However, the difference will be that they get to talk back.

On TikTok, I feel more like a DJ. On TikTok, I get to chat or play a picture guessing game to keep the algorithm going. On Zoom it will be so much more information about one topic and that is English. I will be focusing on conversational English for the most part and explaining each word and how they can use it in a sentence.

Keeping in mind that Zoom attendees will be at different levels of comprehension of the English language is key.

I will be focused on simple and easy sentences so they can try and repeat the whole sentence and not just learn the words. This is in hopes of giving them confidence and a bit of understanding when they meet, greet, or encounter English-speaking foreigners.
