English Conversations

Our free, virtual sessions are a great way to practice your already existing English speaking and listening skills with a native English speaker and new friends from around the world. Our emphasis is on building confidence and fluency through informal and fun weekly conversations on a variety of topics. We offer sessions at various days and times, so you’ll have the flexibility to choose the session that fits best with your schedule.

​

Please note:

• This is not an English class and we are not “teaching” English. We are facilitating English conversations.

• All proficiency levels are welcome. All participants are encouraged to participate in conversations and should have some English-speaking skills.

• Each group is led by a MFIS volunteer who is a native English speaker. Volunteers are not English teachers. Their purpose is to lead group conversations and provide support.

• There are no required books, study guides, or assignments.

• The online atmosphere is very informal.

• We talk and listen to one another with respect.

• Everyone is welcome!
