EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS: LET'S PRACTICE SPEAKING

Conversation - B1-B2 | Intermediate Level

Description

In this lesson, we will talk about two major misconceptions about happiness—confusing it with pleasure and thinking it means avoiding pain. We’ll watch a thought-provoking video, learn key vocabulary, and discuss what happiness really means.
