Why does the summer of our childhood always feel longer, brighter, and more magical than summer does today? Why does time seem to speed up as we get older? This group discussion class will move beyond basic travel chat to dive deep into nostalgia and time perception. We will discuss classic summer stereotypes of youth, favorite summer memories, and why we romanticize the past. This class is for upper-intermediate to advanced-level English students who want to move past basic conversation skills and challenge themselves to think about more abstract or meaningful concepts with a little self-reflection. If you enjoy psychology, philosophy, and sharing cultural perspectives in a relaxed setting, you will love this class.

The aims of this class are: • Have a group discussion with people around the world about summer memories, nostalgia, and how time feels. • Practice your listening skills by listening to other people. • Feel more comfortable interacting with others. • Describe sensory experiences and express more speculative ideas.
