Our First Basic English Meetup

I am so glad that we are about to have our first Basic English Meetup in a fortnight's time! In this Meetup, we will focus on the basics of English grammar as well as some basic conversation. The lesson will be around 1.5 to 2 hours. Kindly check out the event flow from our Meetup Group homepage here.

The location of our first Basic English Meetup will be at 1 Goldhill Plaza, #03-23. I have chosen this location because it is located around the central area and within walking distance from the MRT, which is what most our members preferred. I have prepared a pictorial guide below to help you find your way from Novena MRT station to our classroom at 1 Goldhill Plaza:

First, take Exit B from Novena MRT station which will lead you towards the direction of United Square. You will pass by some tunnels and a couple of escalators to the road level. Once you exit to the road level, turn right and you will see a street view which looks like this:


Walk straight from here and you will see Nanta BBQ Restaurant at the corner on your right:


Turn right into that junction and you will see a view like this:


Walk straight and you should pass by a row of shops including this Korean Restaurant on your left:


By the way, this Korean Restaurant has one of the most authentic (original) Korean food that you can find in Singapore. I highly recommend that you try it out (maybe for lunch before our class) especially if you like Korean food! 

Now, if you look towards your 2-o'clock-direction, you will see Goldhill Plaza (the tall cylindrical tower). 


Turn right into the junction (watch out for cars here!) and you will see a view like this:



Do not go into the tower. You should turn left into the small alley behind the tower. If you see a view like the picture below, then you are on the right track. We are almost there!


Walk straight along the alley and look to your right. Walk straight until you see the staircase entrance of "03-23 to 03-25". That is the staircase entrance of our classroom!





You have arrived! I will be greeting you at the reception. Your journey from Novena MRT to our classroom should not take more than 10 minutes. 

I hope this pictorial guide will be useful on the day. If you have trouble finding your way, please send a message to our Meetup group and I will respond immediately. 

I wish you all the best in finding your way and see you guys in class.  =D
