A reader asks, “Can my eleven-year-old son join Vig Village?”
My answer: No.
Here’s why.
Vig Village is my community for adults who want to practice speaking.
And guess what adults like to talk about?
Work… kids… grandkids… the old days… the world…
And what do kids talk about?
I don’t know.
But it’s definitely not grandkids.
Strange Sport
Yesterday, I told you I saw some kids in the park playing a strange sport.
I wondered where they were from.
And as I got closer, I could hear they were speaking…
English!
And English from England.
“Ah ha,” I thought.
For some reason, English kids chasing a basketball with crutches made sense to me.
How To Speak Better
It’s a fact: We like to talk with people who are similar to us.
Simply, adults like to talk to adults.
And kids like to talk to kids.
This makes conversation more enjoyable.
And when you enjoy talking, you talk more.
Talk more and you’ll talk better.
See how that works?

Hi Ryan,
I agree with you.
Maybe I could appreciate to talk with a cool young adult but definitely not with an eleven-year-old-boy. Our interests and topics of conversation are too different and the boy could get bored quickly.
Yes, you’re right!
Yes, I agree that children will be bored talking to adults. And adults will get bored. But sometimes it’s very interesting and informative to talk to young people who are interesting interlocutors.

Best regards to you !
