Talking Point

Talking Point is the Big Talk Club newsletter. Each issue brings one idea worth discussing and the language you need to talk about it, the same way our lessons work.

The Big Talk Club newsletter

What you get in every issue

An idea with real tension

One question without an obvious answer, exactly the kind that opens our lessons.

The language for that conversation

Six to eight specific phrases you need to share an opinion on it, instead of a long list of words.

A task to complete

More than discussion questions, a ranking, a side to choose, or a decision to defend.

Sample issue

How one issue is built

Question

Is overtourism ruining the places we want to visit?

Language for that conversation

  • overtourism
  • be overrun by tourists
  • lose its character
  • strike a balance

Task

Take a side on whether cities should limit tourist numbers, and try to convince someone else.
