Natural Conversation

Move Beyond Classroom Mode into Authentic English Conversation

 

Are you tired of classroom English?   You've worked hard to master the grammar rules and memorize all the vocabulary. But when a native speaker starts a real conversation, do you get nervous and freeze up?

There is a huge gap between perfect grammar and fluid conversational English. Real-life English is fast, spontaneous, and full of idioms you will never learn in a book. Your goal isn't just knowing English; you want to enjoy the freedom of being able to speak English with ease and confidence.

That's where Speak Up! English comes in. We bridge the gap, moving you instantly beyond "English Class Mode" and directly into authentic, spontaneous conversation—so you can finally achieve true fluency.

Confused About American Culture

You're not the only one.

Language cannot be separated from the culture of its people. Textbooks teach you words, but they don't teach the nuances, social rules, and idioms that define American English.

 

At Speak Up! English, we explore the cultural context of American English. Through dynamic conversation with your peers, you'll gain valuable insights into how American culture works.   By the end of five weeks, you'll be a more confident speaker with a better understandingng of how American English is not just spoken but lived.
