Learning or practicing a new language can be stressful. You have to put yourself out there and be willing to make mistakes in front of others.
Colouring can sooth your stress, gifting you the ability to participate more easily.
The George Mackie Library’s Conversation Circle: Colourful Conversations has changed its’ time to 2 to 2:45 p.m. on Mondays, beginning Feb. 26.
Head to the library to connect and colour and improve your English through speaking and listening about different topics each week. Meet new friends while colouring and practicing the English language in a safe and friendly space. Suitable for all levels. The library will provide the colouring pages and pencil crayons.
