Join a friendly, supportive group designed to help adult learners practise everyday English, build confidence and meet new people. This conversational class focuses on practical speaking and listening skills that make daily life and community participation easier for parents and caregivers.
What to Expect
This class is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for adult learners of all levels who want gentle, practical English practice. You'll work on everyday conversations, pronunciation, and listening strategies that help at school events, appointments and community activities.
Sessions are largely conversational with simple prompts, small group discussions and role plays to help participants build confidence. The pace is mindful of adults juggling family and work commitments, with friendly volunteers and tutors to support learning.
Expect a social atmosphere where making friends and community connection is part of the learning. This is a great chance for parents to meet others, practice English speaking skills and build local networks while children are at school.
