English Speaking Practice — Daily Conversation

Real conversation practice with a native or near-native instructor — the kind you can't get from an app. Eight live sessions, small groups, gentle correction, big confidence gains.

About this course

Most adult MENA learners can read English fine but freeze when they have to speak. The fix isn't more grammar; it's reps with feedback. Each session is 50% structured topic conversation, 50% free flow with gentle correction. By session eight you can hold a 30-minute conversation about your work, your family, current events, and travel without panic.

What you'll cover

1
Introductions, small talk, and the dreaded silence
Phrases that fill the gap. Asking questions back. The first 60 seconds.
2
Talking about your work
Your role explained 3 ways. Industry vocab. Avoiding 'I do many things'.
3
Family, hometown, and the conversation Westerners love
Talking about Egypt, Saudi, the Levant in a way that's interesting.
4
Current events without picking fights
Discussing news politely. Disagreeing without escalating.
5
Travel and food
Recounting trips. Recommending food. The vocab that delights everyone.
6
Job-related conversation
Pitching yourself. Explaining a project. Asking smart questions.
7
Pronunciation deep dive
Common Arabic-speaker traps. The 5 sounds to focus on.

Confidence and habit
The 15-min daily practice that compounds. Self-recording. Where to find more practice.
