Conversation

In our Conversation Course, students learn and practice essential foundations for starting, sustaining, and closing meaningful conversations.

This course contains 10 classes and is designed to be self-paced. Parent involvement is highly recommended. Each class includes 2-4 short instructional videos, and each video is supported by an exercise, drill, or assignment. We recommend covering no more than one class per week. Less experienced students may work through the material at a slower pace. (Time requirement expectation: 60-90 minutes per week for students aged 9-19)

If you want weekly oversight from our master teacher (Win Heggem), please sign up for one of our Conversation Guided Group Classes.

Key concepts covered include:

• Icebreakers
• Art of Asking Questions
• Empathetic Listening
• Conversation Courtesies
• Compliments
• Apologies
• Sharing Opinions
• Managing Interruptions
• Handling Conflict
