Reserved classroom chairs at Talk Bench

Bring a notebook, a pen, and the name you want on the chair list. We ask for a reserved chair because the rooms are small. A walk-in can sit if a seat is empty five minutes after the hour starts. Do not count on that on Thursday evening.

Stand inside the door, not on the pavement. The pavement is a bus stop. Jonah or Mira will point you to a chair. If you are early, the bench outside is for waiting, not for a phone meeting on speaker.

What the GET form is

The form on this site uses GET and opens thanks.html on your device. We still call to lock the chair. Do not put a passport number in the note field. Hours: Sun–Thu 09:00–18:00, Fri 09:00–13:00, Saturday closed.

What to skip

You do not need a lanyard, a placement test from another school, or a speech about your level. Sit. Say the first sentence. We will hear the rest.

Tracks: work English, reading hour, evening table. House rules: legal. Index: desk notes.
