Who it’s for
For learners who understand more than they can say and want their speaking to catch up: talking about your day, your plans, your trips and your job without stopping to translate.
What you’ll work on
Routines and plans
The everyday talk that fills most conversations.
Travel
Asking for things, ordering, and sorting out a problem.
Work
Saying what you do and talking about your week.
Fluency first
The aim is to keep talking; grammar comes in when it helps you say more.
How a lesson works
- 24 hBook ahead
Request the hour
Choose a teacher who gives this course and an open hour on their schedule, at least 24 hours ahead. The course goes with your request, so your teacher knows what the hour is for.
- 50 minOne to one
Speak, in your browser
The classroom opens 10 minutes before the hour: video, a shared list of the new words your teacher writes as you go, a board and a chat. Nothing to install.
- AfterThe lesson
Notes in your notebook
When your teacher publishes notes for the lesson, with a summary, the vocabulary and homework, they wait in your notebook, searchable by word.
The path
