Millie’s cafe – Conversations – is moving to a great new location nearby.

Millie has been so successful a large food company has bought ‘Conversations’ and it will move to an exciting new location in the plaza.

The new and improved ‘Conversations’ will have a Fast Food restaurant and a fine dining restaurant combined. Millie will continue to manage the cafe at the new food complex and she will also take her waitresses with her, so don’t worry she will continue making her famous pastries and you will still get the best cup of coffee in town !

See you at ‘Conversations’ !

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.
