Boost Your English Skills With Us

Join Our Exciting Events in 2026 at our school in via Tommaso Grossi 9, Como !

Are you looking for a relaxed way to practise English, meet new people, and enjoy your free time?
Our English Social Events are designed to help you use English naturally, without the pressure of a traditional lesson.

These events are open to students and non-students, and are guided by one of our qualified teachers in a friendly, informal atmosphere.

At our school, we believe in providing immersive and interactive experiences to help you enhance your English proficiency. There's something for everyone.

What are English Social Events?

English Social Events are informal evenings or weekend events where English is the shared language.
Each event has a light structure, but the focus is always on conversation, interaction, and enjoyment.

You don’t need perfect English — just a willingness to take part.

Different formats, same objective

To keep things fresh and engaging, the format of our social events can vary.
Over the year, this may include: Bookclub meetings for adults, teens and kids, Aperitifs in English, Music in English lessons, Arts and Crafts and Conversation clubs.
