TALK and SHOP are the imperative descriptions. Layman’s term for communicate – TALK –signifies the skills intended to be learned and developed through the courses we offer. TALK signifies words. Words add up to language. Language manifests culture. Culture defines personality. TALKSHOP aims to enrich these important dimensions of one’s personal makeup. And because personality talks, one has to make sure that it talks in the best possible ways.
SHOP is derived from workshop. We take pride in offering performance courses: you have to do it to learn it. DRILLS and PRACTICE EXERCISES will immerse the student in particular skills, at the same time, grammar rules will be taught in an easy-to-understand manner. We believe in the MASTERY OF SKILLS THROUGH PRACTICE.
