English Speaking Practice

Learning English isn't easy but with the right online English courses, it is certainly something anyone can do. An important part of learning English is getting time to practice speaking English as well as watching online video lessons and learning written English. However, finding people to help with English speaking practice can be hard.

Friends and Family

One of the best sources of English speaking practice is, of course, friends and family. If other people you know are learning English too or have already learnt and are more advanced than you then getting time with them as often as you can is a brilliant way to get some English speaking practice. This can be done on the phone, in person or even with skype or WhatsApp video calls. Even just 5 minutes of practice once a week can be helpful. If you are living with other English learners then having "English only" days in the house can be a brilliant way to improve your spoken English skills.

Work

The reason many people learn English is for work. They may want to work in an English speaking country, or they may already live there but want to get a better job where English is needed. This kind of environment is perfect for practising spoken English. Colleagues who speak English are great to chat to and ask questions too if there is a word you need help with. Listening to others speak around you is also great for improving your spoken English. Do remember that colleagues may be busy so it is useful to be aware they may not always have time to explain a phrase, idiom or word.

Other Learners

A powerful way to improve your spoken English is by practising in a structured, supportive environment with other learners. Our Speaking Practice Groups are designed to give you exactly that. You’ll join small groups of students at a similar level, making it easier to participate, build confidence, and speak more naturally.

Each session is guided by an expert teacher who provides direct feedback and correction, helping you refine your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and communicate more clearly. Whether you’re focusing on everyday communication or developing your business English skills, these sessions are tailored to help you progress in a practical and engaging way.

Learning alongside others from our global community also creates a motivating environment where you can share ideas, gain new perspectives, and grow your confidence together.
