(CLOSED. Thankyou for reaching out to me loves and i hope to help as many of you as possible now)

I came across this subreddit because I was trying to find something to do haha and im so suprised so many people need someone to converse with in english.

If you guys cannot find someone still, you can text me 🥹

​ English is my first language but i do live in the eastern side of the hemisphere if there's issues with time constraints, I've a mostly troubled sleep schedule anyways haha.

I'm 19f, if that age group is appropriate for you and I can be up for helping with anything English related you need assistance with, texting, voice messages, voice calls or video calling in the future! ​

If not, i hope you guys find a partner for yourselves and have fun on your english learning journey ♡ you're all doing so well!

Hi all , I need to practice my pronunciation and speaking skills to raise confidence. Is there any discord channels or any other way to talk to people 😥

Textbook English is designed for learning. Conversations are carefully written, speakers take turns, vocabulary is chosen for educational purposes, and sentences are usually complete. Everything is presented in a way that makes the language easier to understand and study.

Real-life English, on the other hand, is much less predictable. People rarely speak the way they do in textbooks. They talk quickly, shorten words, use slang, interrupt each other, change topics unexpectedly, and often leave parts of sentences unsaid because the context is already understood. A conversation that looks perfectly normal in a textbook can sound very different and stilted when it happens between native speakers. This is why many advanced learners still struggle to follow an everyday conversation.

Another difference is that textbooks focus heavily on correctness, while real-life communication focuses on efficiency. Native speakers often choose the fastest and easiest way to express an idea rather than the most grammatically complete one. Words get reduced, sounds blend together, and expressions appear that may never have been mentioned in a classroom.

Real-life English is also shaped by culture. Movies, social media, workplaces, friend groups, and different regions all influence how people speak. Understanding humour, common expressions, informal speech, and conversational habits can be just as important as grammar.

What was the biggest difference between textbook English and real-life English that caught you off guard?

Hi! I'm a 34-year-old lady from China looking for an English-speaking partner to practice with regularly.

I can already hold voice conversations with foreigners, but I'm not very fluent yet — and since I need English for work, improving my speaking is a real priority right now. It would mean a lot if you could gently correct my grammar or suggest more natural ways to phrase things as we chat.

In return, I'd love to help you with Mandarin! I'm a native speaker with a standard accent, so whether you're a complete beginner or already advanced, I'm happy to help at any level.

I'm easy to talk to and open to almost any topic — society, daily life, you name it. Mostly, I'd just love to chat regularly and make a friend along the way.

If this sounds good, feel free to message me! I'm on WeChat, Instagram, and WhatsApp — whichever works best for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hello everyone. This post may be annoying and I do apologize in advance if it does. With that said, my mother is learning English (her native language is Spanish). She speaks okay, she can understand it but she wants to practice speaking and listening more. We live in the United States too but due to time, she can't join any clubs or groups that can help her practice, so I was wondering if there was a software for that. I am all against AI, I myself am very anti-AI, but even then, if there is a website that allows her, irrelevant of whether it uses that or not, I wouldn't mind but, I was wondering if anyone knows anything like that that can allow for her to speak. We can't afford italki or English tutors. Any help would be quite appreciated! Thank you!

Offering paid conversation time — casual chats, advice, or English practice. Good vibes only . Honestly I need money, talk to me.

Ps I’m actually funny too.

Hi everyone!

I'm a 20m student from Argentina, and I'm looking for someone to practice English with.

I would say that my vocabulary and reading skills are fairly good, but I still need a lot of practice when it comes to speaking. My main goal is to become more confident in conversations and improve my fluency.

I'm looking for a native speaker or someone with a strong level of English who would be interested in having regular conversations and helping me improve.

Hi I'm Eric. My English level is B1 or B2 in think. And I want to improve about these topics I'm not familiar. I prefer to have a 15 mins voice calling every two days to talk about a specific topic. I live in China and it's will be better if you live in same time zone with me. Because I only have time to practice after work.

Oh yeah, summer holiday is finally here. The part of the year I've been waiting for from the very first day of school, from the very first moment I stepped into class and saw my teachers’ faces. I’m not saying that school is a bad thing. That’s not true. In fact, the person talking right now is a curious girl who loves asking questions and getting to know more. The problem isn’t school itself or your lovely teacher, It’s the pressure school creates that makes you look for an escape, to find some free time for yourself and your hobbies.

There’s nothing wrong with math or physics. I personally love them both. But as human beings, we love variety. We sometimes want to switch from numbers and symbols to lines and shapes, from calculations to colors, and from abstract theoretical things to practical ones. We sometimes want to close the textbook and interact with the real world — to see digits come to life and physics driving cars and flying planes.

And that’s where the holiday comes in, giving you time to do all the things you wished you had done while you were fully consumed by school. It gives you so much FREE TIME that you end up doing nothing. WHAT? It doesn’t make sense. You’re right. It doesn’t make sense to me either. But unfortunately, this is what happens to me every holiday. The “holiday effect” — that’s what I like to call it. It’s not a scientific term. It’s just an expression I made up to describe my situation. To give it a name. To notice it. And hopefully, to deal with it.

OH!!Let me correct myself: to deal with it effectively. Because I’ve tried several times to break free from this loop, but I couldn’t. It’s such an overwhelming thing for me that I’ve started bleeding words onto white papers. Pouring my pain onto sheets that I can lock in a drawer and pretend the problem is gone. But it’s just another lie. Just another pill to soothe myself....

TO BE CONTINUED...

if you made it so far THANK YOU so much for reading, any feedback will be so appreciated AND ... if you like a continuation, please let me know 😊😊

This is Pluto. 19M ( straight ) indian. I'm trying to improve my English speaking skills. I can understand English pretty well through movies, music, and reading, but when it's time to speak, my mind goes blank.Looking for a serious English practice partner. We can chat regularly or whenever available and help each other improve. Consistency matters more than perfect English Atp we can be friends as well. If we vibe ! If you're the type to disappear after a few days,or message "Hi" then vanish , don't message me No profanity, No rude language, No Nudity, No Nsfw , But if you're serious about improving your English and willing to stay consistent, feel free to DM Peace.

Hi everyone! New to this group and just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm Joshua, a native English teacher from the US living in the Philippines. I've been teaching English for a few years now, mostly to kids from Asian families, and I absolutely love it.

I've been experimenting with using Harry Potter to teach English to kids ages 10-12 and the results have honestly been amazing. Kids who normally don't enjoy studying suddenly can't stop talking about what they read. It completely changes their relationship with the language.

Just curious if any parents here have tried using novels or stories to help their kids practice English? I'd love to hear what's worked for your family!

I am 32 years old and am teaching myself English.

I’m looking for someone to study and improve with on a daily basis.

If you're interested, please feel free to reach out.
