I fully agree to you.

Maybe you can propose a relaxing topic as a warm-up, e.g. Office Jokes or something like that

Well, I am pleased to give you an example and I wish you all a nice weekend.

A business man got on an elevator.
When he entered, there was a blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright smile, "T-G-I-F."
He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T."
She looked puzzled and repeated, "T-G-I-F," more slowly.
He again answered, "S-H-I-T."
The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile, and said as sweetly as possible, "T-G-I-F."
The man smiled back to her and once again, "S-H-I-T."
The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain. "'T-G-I-F' means Thank Goodness It's Friday. Get it, duuhhh?"
The man answered, "'S-H-I-T' means 'Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday.'"

OK，TGIF的意思便是：Thank Goodness It's Friday，感谢老天，总算到星期五啦！周五一到，意味着一周两天的休息日到来，又可以摆脱工作和学习的烦扰，痛快地睡个懒觉了！

TGIF，祝你周末愉快！

From my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to speak out and do not afraid of making mistakes. I remembered that I've ever met a Spanish guy in Germany, he can speak 6 languages including Chinese. He kept talking with me in Chinese, I was thinking that he has ever been to China or at least has learnt Chinese for several years. But I was wrong. You will never believe that he has just learnt Chinese by himself for 5 months! You see? Then how long have us leartn English?

Vocabulary is also a big headache for me. My experience is you do not have to recite the words themselves, but try to "guess" or understand them according to the context, in other words, reading is even more important than vocabulary. Also, correct pronouciation will absolutely help you to write the words even you do not know them.

Good recommendation! Thanks.
