Someone (who wanted to join my English club) asked me the differences between my English club and some other English clubs in our city. I said the following. Is it natural? The English club meets every week and we call the meeting an "event". My English club is for a group of people who can speak fluent English but here we have so many English clubs for beginners.

Please understand that the goal of organizing this event is not to help anyone to learn English but to create an opportunity for the adept English users to converse and exchange ideas in a natural and comfortable manner. The conventional form of English corner, on the other hand, often fail to achieve this as fluent speakers will have to stop from time to time to cater to the needs of beginner learners. In our event, however speakers will not be obligated to this endeavor.

Please understand that the goal of organizing this event is not just to help anyone members/participants to learn English, but (also) to create an opportunity for the adept English users to converse and exchange ideas in a natural and comfortable manner (freely). The conventional form of usual English corner on the other hand often fails to achieve this as fluent speakers will have to stop from time to time to cater to the needs of beginners learners. In our event, however, speakers will not be obligated to this endeavor obliged to do so.

Well, Ted, it's okay for you to correct I write but please don't distort the meaning of the what I try to express. Is that okay?

The group is not to help others to learn English because participants there are already very fluent in English.

And why is it wrong to say "conventional form" here? Could you please quote who said that it is wrong to say "conventional form" is wrong here?

 

[tedmc]

I don't agree that members who are already fluent in English, or native speakers for that matter, don't have anything more to learn as learning is a lifelong process. Anyway, you should have made it clear that the club is not for beginners but more of a social club for fluent English speakers.

I think the term "conventional form of English corner" is not appropriate and too formal to describe the way activities are carried out in a club.

I am not trying to alter the contents of your text. Of course certain changes can be subjective for which I am open to discussions.

I don't think tedmc was trying to 'distort the meaning'. He was attempting to help clarify it.
