I Need English Conversation Lessons With A British Native Speaker

The statement in the title gave us at the inspiration to set up ‘The English Skype Room’.

Our tutors have been teaching English and other Modern Languages for many years and the same problem came  up again and again when our students would say,  ‘It was fine when I was in the country, it just came naturally to me, but now I have forgotten it all again’. We all know the feeling! We decided to set up the ‘next best thing’ to being in the country: provide a platform for anyone around the world to have conversation lessons, lessons on business or interviews and brush up on their English before going on holiday or a trip.

Modern technology has shrunk the world and it is so easy to sit at home and talk to anyone from any country through Skype or the Web. We think it is vital for learners of English to take advantage of this new technology: use it to improve your job prospects, prepare for that interview or business trip.

English has become the global language of business and we want to help our customers feel confident in using it and applying their knowledge to everyday situations.  It can be nerve racking at the beginning to speak English over Skype with someone you don’t know. Our tutors are all friendly and good listeners and you will soon ‘feel at home’ even though you are at home!

Here are a few tips for preparing for a Skype lesson…

Read through the English lesson carefully before you start.

Look up any new words in a dictionary (online dictionaries are quick and useful)

Listen carefully to your tutor and don’t be afraid to ask them to repeat the question.

Keep your answers simple using language you are familiar with at first: your tutor is skilled at getting you to be more adventurous.

Don’t worry about making mistakes! We like mistakes…it means you are learning!

We are sure you will enjoy your English lesson using Skype or the telephone.
