English Corner MV

If you are learning English, you are learning more than a language. You are learning a culture, a history, and a people, and you cannot truly understand America without understanding the impact of Juneteenth and Jim Crow. This week, we will discuss ordinary Americans who courageously took a stand to create a better future for all. Join us from 7-9 PM at 920 Sierra Vista Ave, Mountain View, CA.

Did you know that the biblical story of Moses and the Israelites has shaped American culture for centuries? From the spirituals sung by enslaved African Americans 🎵 to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legendary words — "I've been to the mountaintop… I've seen the Promised Land" — the Exodus story lives at the heart of the American freedom movement. This week, we will discuss the biblical Exodus narrative in detail and how it has shaped American culture. Join us from 7-9 PM at 920 Sierra Vista Ave, Mountain View, CA.

Americans talk about freedom constantly, for example, "free speech," "free country," "land of the free." But did you know that freedom shows up in everyday American conversation in surprising and sometimes contradictory ways? This week, we'll unpack how the concept of freedom shapes the way Americans think, speak, and make decisions. What does freedom mean to you — and is it the same thing it means to your neighbor? Join us from 7-9 PM at 920 Sierra Vista Ave, Mountain View, CA.

This month at English Corner, we will dive deep into one of America's most powerful ideas: freedom.

Then, we will round it all off by watching fireworks together on July 4th.
