🌎 Yesterday’s English Conversation Club was all about tourism and the ways it can shape the places we visit, as well as the people who live there. We talked about UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the U.S., the economic impact of tourism, including jobs and local revenues, and the growing issue of overtourism.

🏙️ Things got especially interesting when we did a roleplay: some participants became local government representatives trying to attract more tourists, while others took on the role of local residents dealing with some of the less welcome side-effects. Both sides had to make their case, and there were plenty of arguments for and against having large numbers of visitors in popular destinations!

🇺🇸 Another Tuesday, another topic with plenty to talk about! Next week, due to popular demand, we'll talk about American architecture, including skyscrapers, their history and aesthetics, and how architecture has shaped American cities and urban spaces.

🇺🇸 We had a great time at Researchers’ Night at the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Debrecen last Friday!

Our program, “250 Years, 50 States, 5 Questions,” combined online and in-person quizzes, bite-sized microlearning moments about the United States, and, of course, some fun prizes for our top scorers. 🎉 It was also a great opportunity to introduce more people to American Corner Debrecen—and it looks like we may even have found our next student intern! 👀

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, played along, and made the evening so much fun! 🇺🇸✨

Earlier this week, American Corner Debrecen welcomed students from 🇭🇺 Fazekas Mihály High School and their Erasmus guests from 🇫🇷 Aix-en-Provence in France, (along with their English teacher originally from 🇬🇧 the UK), for a lively Jeopardy-style Americana quiz.

Teams battled it out over U.S. trivia, and in the end everyone left with a prize—and hopefully also a bit more knowledge about the U.S.

🇺🇸 🇭🇺 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 Four countries, one quiz, plenty of laughs—and some true international fun at American Corner Debrecen! 🌎 🎉

📜 It is Constitution Week, so at yesterday’s English Conversation Club, we explored some surprising facts about the document that has shaped the United States 🇺🇸 for well over two centuries.

Who actually wrote it? Why did some states demand a Bill of Rights? Which amendment took 203 years to ratify? And what does the First Amendment really protect? 🤔

Working in small groups, we even created the basic framework of our own model constitutions — then put them to the test with a series of crises and challenges.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! And if you missed this one, come along to our next English Conversation Club! 💬
