Online Meetings Worldwide - Where You Can Gain Confidence and Practise Speeches and Presentations

Go to toastmasters international's website and you can find Toastmasters International clubs all over the world. The speakers' training movement started in the USA, eventually spreading to England, Europe, Asia and all over the world. Most of the clubs are in English  but the literature has been translated in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish and other languages. You can join foreign language multi-lingual clubs and bilingual clubs and give speeches in your other language in Spanish, French, Malay, Tamil and many more languages.

I used to give workshops all over the world, in the UK, USA and China. Now, in 2020 because of COVD-19 the in-person meetings are just fond memories. I was speaker, project evaluator, contest timer, judge. In Singapore I was out every day, sometimes twice a day, six or seven days a week.



Now everybody is going online.
Now that meetings are forced to go online, the opportunities are expanding daily.Here are just a few of your options.

Wednesdays (evenings in Singapore)
Braddell Heights Advanced.
1st Wednesday of the month on zoom. Other meetings on Learncool.

Fridays
Singapore Online meets online from 9 pm to midnight and after, Singapore time. Hong Kong is on the same time zone.

We have table topics (impromptu speeches), speeches, evaluations, workshops and, as you can see, lots of fun.

Saturdays
Third afternoon of the month, from 2 to 5 Singapore time. Braddell Heights Advanced on zoom.
