FriendSpeak English courses

FriendSpeak is an English one-on-one conversation course that uses a text that is taken from the New Testament, along with simple exercises in vocabulary and written and oral comprehension. They use the texts as a starting point for the conversations, but there is also a great deal of freedom to talk about many other topics which you may suggest.

The classes are individual conversation classes. That means you have an English-speaking "partner" and you are with him/her one-on-one. The classes last for 45 minutes, once a week, at a time schedules by you and your conversation partner.

Theses classes give you a wonderful opportunity to really practice your English and you get a lot of time to speak. But you must be able to communicate in English. There's no need to be fluent, of course, but beginners cannot participate in the project.
