Language Pledge

1. English-Only Commitment

I pledge to communicate exclusively in English to the best of my ability while inside the club premises, during all official sessions, workshops, events, and in designated community groups.

• This commitment applies to conversations with other members, instructors, staff, and visitors.
• I will refrain from using any language other than English in the designated immersion zones.

2. Respect for the Immersion Environment

The purpose of this pledge is to create a safe, supportive, and active practice space for everyone.

• I understand that everyone is here to learn, and speaking English exclusively helps others build confidence.
• I will strive to improve myself and learn as much as possible through active participation.
• I will encourage, support, and help fellow members to uphold this standard in a friendly and welcoming manner.

3. Inclusivity and Patience

Language acquisition is a journey of making mistakes and learning from them.

• I will show patience and empathy toward my peers and myself.
• I will contribute to a non-judgmental environment where mistakes are viewed as constructive learning steps.

4. Exceptions

We recognize that certain situations require exceptions to the English-only policy.

• Exceptions are granted for absolute emergencies, safety concerns, or administrative transactions handled with administrative staff.

5. Compliance and Community Standards

I acknowledge that repeatedly and intentionally breaking the Language Pledge undermines the learning environment for all members. Repeated violations may result in a review of my club membership.
