Why Taboo?: Dissecting the Forbidden Stories
Detalles de la lección
Some conversations live in the shadows, whispered, avoided, or considered “too much” for the usual English class.
But not here.
In this lesson, we take the topics people aren’t supposed to talk about and bring them into the light with curiosity, honesty, and compassion. Together, we explore how culture, identity, upbringing, and society shape what becomes “taboo,” and why these stories matter.
This is a guided, safe, and structured space where you can express your thoughts freely in English; without judgment, without pressure, and without pretending.
No masks. No surface-level small talk. Just real conversations about real things.
🌿 Perfect for:
• Adults and teens (16+)
• Learners who want deeper, meaningful English practice
• Students fascinated by culture, identity, and human behavior
• Anyone who feels restricted by “polite” topics and wants a space to speak honestly
🎯 Lesson Goals:
• Expand fluency through bold, nuanced topics
• Strengthen your ability to express opinions clearly and respectfully
• Learn vocabulary connected to culture, society, and identity
• Explore how taboos differ across countries (Japan, Jamaica, Asia, the West, etc.)
• Build confidence by talking about topics you never had space for before

🧑🏾🏫 Tutor’s Comment:
Taboo topics tell the truth about a society; the fears, the pressures, the secrets, and the dreams. In this class, we explore those truths with respect, empathy, and curiosity.
