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, beginning on 12 February 2024 for most of the school terms.

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. Classes are open to anyone over the age of 18 who are looking to improve their English speaking.
