How do I find someone in my local town or my local city who would be willing to help me learn English by having speaking practice sessions or lessons regularly. So in this video I'm going to show you six ways that you can find someone that you can speak English with so that you get that speaking practice in. So you've probably already spent time reading in English, writing in English, listening to English, and learning lots of vocabulary. But speaking with a native English speaker is one of the most challenging things to do as you continue to learn English. So in this video I'm gonna show you six things that you can do to find native English speakers that you can talk to. I should say though, one of the examples doesn't involve a native speaker, but you'll see when we get there. Let's get started. So one of the first things you can do is you can try to find a language club in your city. Most large cities have language clubs where people go to learn English as well as other languages. So a great place to start with this is a website called meetup.com. And we'll have a look at meetup.com and we'll use this website to say that we live in Paris and that we are looking for an English conversation club. When you do this it should give you some things that you can click on. So here we see café conversation English language conversation group. So meetup is a great place, you can specify the city that you are from, so let's say you are in Toronto. Maybe you're already in Canada. And you could say that you want an English conversation club and you can see here again all different options for you to be able to go to a club and practice your English with other people. A second way to find someone to practice English with is to find someone to be your penpal. This is an older English word that means someone who you can write letters to. But you can also find a penpal who is willing to have conversations with you via Skype or Facetime. We're going to use a webpage called, "mylanguageexchange.com" So I'm just gonna go over to the computer here and I'm gonna search up my language exchange on Google and when we get to mylanguage, language exchange, we're gonna go down to where it says your language exchange partner. So you're describing the person you want to meet. I would say their native language is English, and let's pretend I'm a French speaker learning English. I would say that their practicing language is French. Then I would click search and you'll see that a number of people come up who say, "Hello I'm interested in exchanging with people on a regular basis on regular topics." So this is someone whose native language is English, but who is practicing French. So another way to find an English speaking partner is to use a website called preply.com. So we’re going to have a look at preply.com. I used preply when I was learning French or improving my French, but preply.com is a website where you will have to spend some money, but you can go and find people who are willing to teach you English via Skype or via Facetime. So if I went to the website I could say I wanna learn the English language. I wanna learn English to talk about hobbies, and I want to learn it for myself, and then I’m going to say that I speak French, I’m just gonna pretend that I speak French so here this will give us an option of how much we’re willing to pay per hour, and we’ll just say show search results, we’re not going to specify what days of the week, but you’ll see here that we right away have English tutors available who are charging as little as $4 an hour. #englishsubtitles #learnenglish #bobthecanadian **Note: All images used under: CC0 License ✓ Free for personal and commercial use ✓ No attribution required From pexels.com or pixabay.com
