Your students probably know at least a little about it, so it should be a good topic for a free-talk lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/2022\/12\/25\/free-conversation-topics-for-the-holiday-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other lessons based on holidays<\/a>, however, it's important to be respectful of different cultural backgrounds. Also, keep in mind that while it's a fun and romantic day for some, Valentine's Day may be lonely for others, so it's best to be sensitive when discussing these topics by keeping things general rather than specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that out of the way, on with the discussion questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Valentine's Day Discussion Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. What comes to mind when you think of Valentine's Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate candy, a red rose and a red greeting card envelope\" class=\"wp-image-7350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044339\/valentine_free_talk_4-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Different cultures can celebrate the same day in a variety of ways, so what one holiday means to you may not apply to someone who sees it from another perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Does your country celebrate any other romance-themed days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if Valentine's Day isn't big in their country, it doesn't mean they don't have days similar to it. In Korea, for example, there are romance-themed <a href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/valentines-day-traditions-around-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrations<\/a> on the 14th of each month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. If it <em>is<\/em> celebrated, is Valentine's Day a \"new\" holiday in your country?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some holidays have managed to spread far beyond their country of origin. <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/our-materials\/daily-news-halloween\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Halloween<\/a>, for example, has become big in Japan in recent years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's possible your students have noticed something similar with Valentine's Day. Maybe they've celebrated it all their lives, or perhaps it didn't even exist in their country when they were little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Is it only celebrated by couples?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's common for Western schoolchildren to give handmade cards to their classmates on Valentine's Day. Similarly, adults may bring chocolate to work to share with colleagues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Valentine's Day isn't strictly a couples-only day, despite how it's marketed. What's it like in your students' countries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. What is the etiquette for giving and receiving gifts in your country?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A person holding out a gift in a box with a shiny bow\" class=\"wp-image-6666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/02\/10024623\/valentine_free_talk_2-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the US, it's common for couples to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day. But it's not the same everywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your Japanese students may mention that men and women are expected to give gifts on separate days of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. What type of gifts are typically given on Valentine's Day (or your country's equivalent)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things like roses and chocolate are often associated with February 14th in America. Is it the same where your students live? What do they think of these gifts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Does your country have any special days for singles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies make a lot of money this time of year from couples buying gifts for one another. But they've realized they can make even more money by marketing to <em>singles<\/em> too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has led to days like <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/alibaba-sets-sales-record-on-singles-day\/_V2MNsIAEeaHFuODyIRC2g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Singles' Day<\/a> in China, which is on November 11th (11\/11, get it?). What do your students think about a day for singles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Some people feel Valentine's Day is too commercialized. What do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, lots of money is spent for Valentine's Day, on everything from greeting cards and <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/teaching-conversation\/conversation-topic-spring-allergies-and-cherry-blossoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flowers<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/our-materials\/daily-news-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trips<\/a> and fancy hotels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do your students think about this? Are there any other holidays they feel have become too focused on spending?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Are \"public displays of affection\" common in your country?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A couple kissing while sitting on a terrace\" class=\"wp-image-7351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/03044735\/valentine_free_talk_6-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though some people dislike it, seeing couples kiss and behave affectionately in public is a very normal thing in Western cultures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But different countries can have very different attitudes toward \"PDAs.\" Is this type of activity accepted in your student's country? How do your students feel personally?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. How many English \"pet names\" do you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's a question for a bit of fun trivia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students may know common romantic nicknames like \"sweetheart\" or \"baby,\" but do they also know names like \"honey,\" \"boo\" or \"bae\"? If so, where did they first hear them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. What's your favorite non-national holiday?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although popular, Valentine's Day isn't a federal holiday in America. That means everyone goes to work or school like any other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bigger holidays like Christmas or new year celebrations are obviously very popular around the world, but what other \"minor\" holidays do your students enjoy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wrap-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is a topic with lots of potential for free conversation. Just be careful to discuss it with sensitivity and respect for your students' privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/teaching-conversation\/valentines-day-free-talk-activity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this post<\/a> for even more suggestions for lessons on or around February 14th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originating in the UK, Valentine's Day as we know it now has spread around the world.
