Why join the club?



A message from book club tutor Patricia Ferraz:

We think reading is a game changer when it comes to boosting language skills. Joining the Cambridge Book Club is a great way to connect, learn and have fun through your passion for reading.

  • Join our community of book lovers
    You’ll have the opportunity to talk with other bookworms in a safe and friendly environment that accommodates speakers at a variety of levels. Come to the live sessions and participate as much as you like, or just hang out and listen.
  • Brush up your English in a fun way
    We go through each book, pick out the difficult words and expressions and create a glossary and practice activities to boost your vocabulary. You’ll have the chance to improve your overall communication skills through discussions with the book club community.
  • Get the most out of your reading
    We’ll help you navigate your chosen book with handy word lists and While You Read questions. We pick books that offer the right amount of challenge for language learners at level B2 or above – not too easy and not difficult. And the friendly community will keep you motivated to read more.
  • Broaden your cultural horizons
    Read what book lovers across the English-speaking world are reading! We delve into key themes and explore cultural references, so by the time you finish reading you’ll have a deeper cultural understanding.
