English Conversation Meeting!

Practice English conversation & make friends around the world! 🌏✨

We have topics and conversation starter questions prepared ahead of time each week. You can choose to chat with either 1 or 2 other people. The recommended time for each chat session is 20 minutes.⏰

We meet on Discord. If you're not on Discord yet, it's super simple.👍

1. Join our Discord server by clicking HERE.🖱️
2. Go to "chat-starter-questions" channel first to check out the conversation topics and questions.📚
3. Depending on your preference, click on either "Duo (1:1)" or "Trio (3 people)" voice channel to chat with your conversation partners.🎧

*You can use Discord on your computer browser, as your computer app, or on your phone. Choose whichever way you'd like! :) (HERE's the download page for different options)🖥️📱

**********

On our Discord server, don't worry if you don't see many people on the voice channels. Simply join a Duo or Trio voice channel and wait until your conversation partner joins you.

And we encourage you to hang around on the "Lounge" voice channel before chat sessions and during breaks. You don't need a host to send you into a chat room. It's completely up to you which room to enter and when. Enjoy! :)
