Love is in the air this week because Valentine's Day is coming up on Friday! I've added "Let's Talk About Valentine's Day" to my Seasonal Conversations in English lesson bundle, which takes students through a conversation between two people talking about Valentine's Day.  The lesson starts with a brief one-page introduction to the holiday: We then move into a short conversation between two people who discuss Valentine's Day cards, Valentine's Day activities, and Valentine's Day gifts.

We also usu...
