Do you want to feel more comfortable speaking English?

We run English conversation clubs where you can practise speaking English in small groups, in an informal, relaxed environment.
These take place every week (during term time) in multiple location accross Waltham Forest, including at learning centres and libraries.

Conversation clubs will resume week commencing Monday 15 September 2025, check closer to the date to find clubs in the borough.

Become a Conversation Club Volunteer

Local volunteers lead our community Conversation Clubs which have proven to be a hugely successful programme since starting in 2016.

Volunteers attend a free five-week training course to learn how to support groups of adults who have English as a second language. The training courses are City and Guilds-accredited. Courses run throughout the year. For more information about becoming a Conversation Club volunteer contact us by email using the button below.
