Why join an English conversation class
Your teacher and anyone else you might meet will only talk in English during lessons, so you’ll have to adapt and start thinking in the language. Every topic in your online English conversation class will include opportunities to become a better speaker.
Using the wrong words or phrases with friends and colleagues can feel quite awkward. However, English conversation classes offer you room to make mistakes and understand them. Feedback from your teacher will help correct your speech to learn and improve faster.
Conversational English classes for adults don’t have to be all dry and serious 100% of the time. There’s a lot of room to have fun, joke around, and learn about things you love doing. If you enjoy the learning process, it’s much easier to speak with confidence and fluency.

Our teaching methodology
Taking conversational English classes online will boost your speaking confidence. Eventually, you’ll be able to easily communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Here is how you can learn with Promova:
You’ll choose a topic with your tutor - this can be anything from talking about your daily life to making a report or simulating a business conversation. The goal is to showcase your current abilities and see which skills you can improve during the lesson.
You’ll receive direct feedback about the earlier conversation, focusing on what you did well and where you can do better. Your tutor will offer tips and strategies for you to apply in your English speaking in the future.
You’ll get back into the same conversation from earlier or start a new one on a similar topic. Here, you’ll apply the new strategies and correct any mistakes you may have made earlier.
You’ll compare how much better your speaking got with the right instruction. After several sessions like this, you’ll be comfortable with English conversations and get ready to take your skills to the next level.

Frequently asked questions
What are conversational English classes?
Conversational English classes help non-native speakers develop language skills and increase their fluency. They tend to involve real-world scenarios you’re likely to see at work, during travel, at the restaurant, and so on.
For 1-on-1 lessons, you can get a personal learning plan that allows you to prepare specifically for situations in your life. For example, you might practice for job interviews, business meetings, presentations, etc. The ultimate goal is to help you improve your speaking confidence and use English without effort.
What does a conversation teacher do?
The job of an English conversation teacher has two important sides to it. Firstly, they must deeply understand the language and be able to teach it to you in ways that you can understand and remember. Secondly, they must be great communicators and help create conversations that overcome cultural and linguistic barriers.
They’ll ask questions, propose topics, correct your mistakes, and help develop speaking confidence during lessons. In the end, the teacher ensures that your English speaking class is fun and engaging while staying challenging and rewarding enough for you to learn.
Is there a free English conversation class?
Classes at Promova are paid because they involve time and personal attention from certified tutors who teach for a living. However, we also offer access to a free English conversation club that gathers weekly to discuss fun topics with people across the globe.
It’s an excellent way to get some speaking practice and make new friends from different cultures. In addition, you can meet one of our tutors and see if you want to take a full speaking course with them at a later date.
