What is Modern Topics? Well, if you missed our kickoff class yesterday (with a great group of fun people)- don’t worry! We have lots more to come. Have you ever wondered about the differences between men’s and women’s styles of communication? Like after a great date, and you invite the guy up to your place for coffee and he says, “I’d love to, but I have an early meeting in the morning.” Did you think he was being nice, or considerate, respecting you? What he is really saying is- “I’m just not that into you.” He just wasn’t interested in getting to know you any better.
Our topic yesterday was language differences between men and women. Men and women speak different languages- it’s a fact. For example, when a woman says to her boyfriend- “What are we doing Sunday?” the guy hears, “I want all of your time for the rest of your life.” When a man says, “I tried to call….” or, “I didn’t get the message…” He’s lying, period. Don’t believe him.
Men use language to achieve a goal, while women use it to bond. If a woman asks a man, “What are you thinking about?” during a huge fight about the color of the new sofa, and the man answers, ‘Pizza,” he is not lying- he is thinking about pizza.
During my Modern topics class you will have the chance to share your experiences, meet some great people, and learn English at the same time!
