    Presentation: «Native and Non-Native Americans: What Do They Have in Common with Belarusians?»

    Date: June 17
    Time: 19:00 (Minsk time)

    Is it possible to preserve your identity in a multicultural society? Why are some Indigenous people ashamed of their language? Why do children of immigrants often turn away from their roots? And what do Indigenous languages in the U.S. have in common with the Belarusian language?

    In this session with Palina Masliankova – a philologist, educator, and participant of the Open World 2025 program – we will reflect on language, culture, and identity in both the U.S. and Belarus.

    We will discuss:
    – life and self-governance of Native American communities;
    – reservations, councils of elders, rituals, and modern-day challenges;
    – language loss and revitalization: what hinders and what helps;
    – language shame, internal criticism, and fear of making mistakes;
    – challenges in education: lack of schools, textbooks, and media in native languages;
    – what Indigenous languages and Belarusian have in common;
    – attitudes toward code-switching and mixed language («trasianka»), the role of elites, and social mobility;
    – experiences of non-Native Americans: children and parents of immigrants;
    – language loss and feelings of guilt;
    – why children with Mexican roots often don’t want to return to their homeland – and what that might reveal about our own society.

    Palina will also share personal stories and impressions from her encounters with members of the Tohono O’odham Nation, conversations in museums, and observations of how integration into American life happens for members of vulnerable communities.

    We welcome everyone interested in language, cultural identity, and life in the United States.

  • How to Start a Conversation in English: 10 Phrases for Successful Small Talk

    How to Start a Conversation in English: 10 Phrases for Successful Small Talk

    If you’re learning English and want to feel more confident in everyday communication, it’s important to master the art of small talk – light, casual conversation on neutral topics. In the U.S., this is an essential part of the culture: such conversations help establish a connection, show friendliness, and even lay the groundwork for future friendships or professional relationships.

    What is small talk?

    It’s a short, friendly conversation – for example, in a line, in an elevator, or during a meeting with colleagues or new acquaintances. The main rule: no controversial or overly personal topics. You’re simply creating a positive atmosphere and showing interest in the person you’re speaking with.

    Why does it matter?

    Being able to engage in small talk helps you adapt to English-speaking environments and feel more confident in school, at work, and in everyday life. It’s the first step to building relationships based on trust and mutual understanding.

    What are good small talk topics? And how do you start?

    Here are our tips.

    Weather
    A classic topic, especially in the U.S. A great way to break the ice. Phrases:

    • «Beautiful day, isn’t it?»
    • «Can you believe how cold it is today?»
    • «Looks like it’s going to rain all weekend.»

    Sports
    If you know the person is a sports fan, use that! Phrases:

    • «Did you watch the game last night?»
    • «What’s your favorite team?»
    • «That final was intense, wasn’t it?»

    Food and Restaurants
    Everyone loves food. It’s a great neutral topic. Phrases:

    • «Have you tried that new Italian place on Main Street?»
    • «What’s your go-to comfort food?»
    • «I’m looking for a good sushi spot – any tips?»

    Movies and TV Shows
    A shared interest in film can quickly bring people closer. Phrases:

    • «Seen anything good on Netflix lately?»
    • «I just finished “[show name]”, and I’m obsessed!»
    • «Any movie recommendations?»

    Music
    Music is a universal language. Phrases:

    • «What kind of music are you into?»
    • «I’ve been listening to a lot of indie lately – any artists you like?»
    • «Have you ever been to a live concert?»

    Travel
    Past trips or dream destinations are a great topic. Phrases:

    • «Have you done any traveling recently?»
    • «What’s your dream vacation destination?»
    • «I’ve always wanted to visit Japan – have you been?»

    Books and Podcasts
    Great for conversations with colleagues, teachers, or intellectuals. Phrases:

    • «Read anything good lately?»
    • «I’m into true crime podcasts – what about you?»
    • «I’m looking for a new book – any suggestions?»

    Pets
    Pets are a great source of stories and emotion. Phrases:

    • «Do you have any pets?»
    • «I saw the cutest dog at the park today!»
    • «I’ve been thinking of getting a cat – any advice?»

    Weekends and Free Time
    You can talk about plans or recent experiences. Phrases:

    • «Any plans for the weekend?»
    • «What did you get up to last Saturday?»
    • «I like hiking on weekends – how do you usually relax?»

    Work and Studies
    A safe topic if you already know each other a little. Phrases:

    • «What do you do for work?»
    • «How did you get into that field?»
    • «Are you enjoying your studies?»

    Tip: Start with a simple question – and be ready to keep the conversation going. Even a short dialogue in English is already a step toward confidence.

With the help of local boy Dickon and her withdrawn cousin Colin, she brings the garden back to life.

In an effort to understand who his father truly was, Will uncovers a world where fiction and reality blend in unexpected ways.
