Learning and Growing Together: Our English Group in Pärnu
It all started last summer at the Ukrainian Centre in Pärnu. Back then, we began forming an English study group. The process wasn’t easy at first — people came and went, and the group changed. But a few months before the New Year, a stable and motivated group came together, and real learning began.
For over six months, we’ve studied consistently, supported each other, and made real progress. Everyone followed their own learning path, and we’re proud of the results — one of our participants has even reached B1 level! Others also achieved noticeable improvements, especially in grammar and basic communication skills.
Some people joined for a short while and moved on — that’s a natural part of any learning journey. But those who stayed until the end created a warm and supportive community that grew stronger with each lesson.
Today, we stay in touch through our Telegram group where we continue practicing English, sharing experiences, and supporting each other. This summer, we’re launching an English Conversation Club — a chance to practice speaking in a friendly and relaxed setting. And starting from September, if we have a full group (at least 12 participants), we will open a new English course from A1 to A2 focused on grammar and communication skills.
Special thanks go to our teacher, Viktoriia Kuzmenko, whose adaptive and creative teaching methods made learning accessible and engaging for everyone. Her use of certified materials and modern approaches helped us grow step by step — and most importantly, created an atmosphere of trust and friendship.
At the Ukrainian Centre, we believe that learning is not just about language — it’s about people, connection, and shared growth.
