No English Conversation this Friday January 07

We will not be able to start English Conversation again this Friday January 07.

The simple reason is that is the night of the Cotton Bowl football game between Louisiana State University and Texas A and M University. Almost every American in Baton Rouge will be watching the game – including host families and teachers and church bus drivers. It is not a good night for English Conversation.

But we will start again next Friday January 14. We look forward to seeing you then! And also we look forward to seeing some of the new people that you invite.
