Public Speaking Class Starting Again

Here I am last month with my public speaking class (Minako, Akira, and Wakaba--Aki was also in the class but not in the picture). The students were awesome and I repaid their kindness by assigning numerous speeches and debates during the course. In the next public speaking class (probably starting in October) we will do more in-depth debates and focus on speeches to entertain and storytelling. The presentations will also be longer in length. But don't let this scare you! As someone who loves the subject of public speaking, I want to assure you that EVERYONE can benefit from a public speaking. It may be nerve wracking at first, but after the first few times the teacher throws you into the fire (with quick impromptu speeches and exercises) you begin to feel more confident and comfortable expressing your ideas and opinions. There is nothing more exciting than expressing your thoughts clearly and passionately! This class is for intermediate level non-native speakers.
