English Conversation Corner

We offer a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere where people feel safe to have a go and practise speaking English. Classes run each Monday for the school terms, beginning on 2 February 2025.

Every week we have different activities involving speaking in English about a wide range of different topics: everything from places of interest in Melbourne, to finding a job. Our students come from a wide range of countries, ages, social backgrounds, religions and English-speaking abilities. At the end of each session a short 10-minute story from the Christian Bible is told, followed by afternoon tea. Classes are open to anyone over the age of 18 who is looking to improve their English-speaking skills. The class is NOT suitable for people with NO or very little English. Children and teenagers under the age of 18 are not permitted to attend.
