How to break the language barrier

  • 15years of experience
  • 1000+students

Many people study grammar for years, know lots of words — and still go quiet when they need to say something. The reason isn’t knowledge; it’s a lack of practice and the fear of making mistakes.

In our conversational English course you get as much speaking time as possible: we discuss topics you care about and act out real-life situations — from ordering in a café to a debate at work. We work on grammar and vocabulary along the way — exactly what you’re missing for conversation.

The course suits you if you can already put together a simple sentence. If you’re starting from zero, we recommend our English for adults course first and adding conversation practice later.

Who it’s for

  • You understand, but don’t speak

    The knowledge is there, but the words won’t come when you need them — that’s exactly what we work on.

  • Preparing to move or travel

    We practise the situations you’ll face: housing, doctors, shops, meeting people.

  • You talk to foreigners at work

    Calls, small talk, discussions — so you speak confidently and naturally.

  • You want to keep your level

    Regular practice so your English doesn’t “fall asleep”.

What happens in class

  1. Dialogues and role-plays

    Practising real situations — from everyday life to work.

  2. Discussions and debates

    Learning to give your opinion, agree and disagree, and keep a conversation going.

  3. Real-life vocabulary

    Phrasal verbs, idioms, colloquial expressions — the way people really talk.

  4. Pronunciation and intonation

    So people understand you the first time.

  5. Listening

    Different accents and speeds — from podcasts to films.

  6. Working on mistakes

    Your teacher corrects you tactfully and shows how to say it more naturally.

FAQ

What level do I need for conversational English?

It’s comfortable to start once you can put together a simple sentence (roughly A2). If your level is lower, we’ll start with the basics in our English for adults course.

How is a conversation course different from a regular one?

The focus. A general course develops all skills evenly; here speaking comes first, and we cover exactly as much grammar and vocabulary as you need for real conversation.

Will the course help me stop being afraid to speak?

Yes — that’s what it’s for. Lots of practice in a friendly atmosphere, no judgement for mistakes — and speaking gets easier with every lesson.

How much do conversational English lessons cost?

A single lesson is 770 UAH for 60 minutes. Packages are cheaper: from 700 UAH (8 lessons) down to 630 UAH per lesson (48 lessons). Lessons for two are 800 UAH (400 UAH per student), group lessons are 2,500 UAH a month. Your first trial lesson is free.

Can I take lessons online?

Yes — live with a teacher on Zoom or Google Meet, from any city or country. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.
