During Speak Dating events, you will meet 7 participants (opposite sex) for a 7-minute interview with each participant… ALL in ENGLISH!
At the end of each Speak Dating event, tell our staff which participant(s) you would like to meet again. If s/he agrees, we will give you her/his contact. 
If no match is made, no contact will be disclosed.

Number of participants: 7 ladies and 7 gentlemen.

PRICES?

1. Ladies: 15€ (1 drink included)
2. Gentlemen:

HOW is SPEAK DATING organized? 

1. Register for a specific time & place: usually in central Paris on Tuesday: 7 - 8:20 pm (Group 1) or 8 - 9:20 pm (Group 2).

2. On D-day, our staff will issue a number for each participant that you must keep.

3. You will hear all the details and receive a personal sheet, to keep records of your matches.

4. From 7:30 pm (Group 1) or from 8:30 pm (Group 2), you will sit at a table for your first interview… Speak Dating begins!

5. After 7 minutes you will hear the bell. Women remain seated… MEN move to next table.

6. Repeat this activity for another 6 interviews, until 8:20 pm (Group 1) or until 9:20 pm (Group 2).

7. Give our staff your “Matching Sheet” with the number(s) of your favorite participants.

8. The next day, you will receive an email with your results and matches. If other participants        
    agree to see you again, we will send you their contact.

 

HOW to improve your ENGLISH speaking skills?

1. Make sure you communicate ONLY in ENGLISH!

2. Listen to what your partner has to say.

3. Respect the topic that your partner has chosen. If you don’t know what to talk 
    about, pick a topic from the “Ice Breaker” list provided.

4. Don’t hesitate to correct each other. Peer correction is both easy and effective.

5. Avoid spending too much time looking up words in your dictionary. Spontaneity is key!

6. Remember: better speak with mistakes… than not speak at all!
 

HOW to improve your SOCIAL skills?

1. Dress appropriately: this is not a job interview… nor a sports event!

2. Smile and be polite: familiarity breeds contempt laugh

3. Be original: always ready for a good challenge?

4. Maintain eye contact: be self-confident.

5. Let your body do the talking: body-language says more than words!

6. Listen before you speak: s/he will appreciate laugh

7. Listen more than you speak: for monologues, you can stay home wink

8. Don’t let the cat out of the bag: don’t say everything at once.

9. Think (and act) positive: always a plus!

10. Read between the lines: non-verbal communication speaks volumes!

11. Play the game: even if you’re bored, keep it up… 3 more minutes till the next interview smiley

12. Take it easy! Even if you don’t have a match… you get 50 mn of ENGLISH conversation!

Hello!

I participated to the event and I found it really cool even if there has been no match (for me) and less attendees than planned.

All the participants played the game so that I did not not feel bored at and we all practiced English.

Thanks to all the attendees and to the organiser (Pat).

I'm not sure to do it again but the experience was interesting.
