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
Dialogues and role-plays
Practising real situations — from everyday life to work.
Discussions and debates
Learning to give your opinion, agree and disagree, and keep a conversation going.
Real-life vocabulary
Phrasal verbs, idioms, colloquial expressions — the way people really talk.

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.
