« Walk and talk »

The idea

The term "walk and talk" refers to the principle, as its translation makes it explicit, of walking and talking at the same time. It turns out that this technique allows better productivity, as people achieve better concentration on the essentials within a pleasant setting. Inspired by this "walk and talk" technique, I told myself that we could chat while walking around, in order to take a breath of fresh air. How about while taking your baby out for a stroll or walking your dog? Moreover, for some people it is not easy to speak in front of a stranger, moreover in a language which they do not yet master. Walking side by side, in a natural, pleasant and variable setting, this is made easier. And in bad weather, if you wish, we can always chat sitting in a warm and dry place. This private conversation class will be held at the location of your choice in the "Eaux-Vives" district of Geneva. (Parks, lake, market). We can speak in German, Swiss-German or a mixture of the two.
