    City Update …. Meet Millie Eames

    Meet Millie Eames and the most comfortable place to speak English on the Internet

    Something that many language students find difficult to master is the art of
    small talk.’
    In class we often practice talking about ‘important’ topics, such as politics, science, music and culture.
    Or we practice more functional language, like checking into a hotel, making a complaint or going to the bank.
    One thing that is often not covered is the small talk that happens constantly throughout our daily lives.

    This is where Millie Eames, LanguagLab’s resident café owner and
    manager can help you. Millie’s café is just like a real life café. It’s a place where you can go to listen to music, catch up
    with friends and socialise just like you would in a café in your own country. The big difference is that everyone speaks in English.

    Here’s a hint for those of you who are shy about speaking in English. Try going to the cafe and just listening to what people are
    talking about. Make a list of the things that Millie says when she is greeting people and the questions she uses to start conversations.
    Then, when you’re feeling more confident try using some of the expressions and questions yourself. You’ll find yourself chatting like a local in no time at all.
