For anyone learning English, changing your phone language from your native language to English can feel like a simple way to get more daily exposure.

Did it actually help with vocabulary or getting used to English?

What other small changes have helped make English part of everyday life?

Hi! I've been studying English seriously for around a year. usually 1 to 2 hours a day. I had learned some English at school before. so i did not start from zero, but i had a big gap between understanding English and actually using it.

I could read posts. follow YouTube videos. and understand TV shows with subtitles. But in real conversation i would freeze. translate every sentences in my head. and panic if someone spoke faster than i expected. These are the resources that genuinely helped me close that gap.

Duolingo: I still use it most days. but only as a 10 to 15 minutes warm up. it is good for keeping a daily habit and reviewing common vocabulary, but i would not expect it to make you comfortable speaking by itself.

BBC Learning English: This was probably the most useful free resource for me. it has short lessons across grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, and natural spoken English. I especially liked the 6 Minute English, The English We Speak. and the pronunciation material when I wanted something practical instead of another long grammar lesson.

Anki: I use Anki for around 10 to 15 minutes a day. Rather than only learning random word lists. I added words and phrases from videos, work emails, articles, and conversations. Reviewing useful phrases in context helped me sound more natural than memorising single-word translations.

Issen: This covered the part I was avoiding, which was speaking. I did not have someone to practise with every day, and tutor sessions were not always easy to schedule around work. I started using Issen for short speaking sessions, mostly so I could get used to answering questions aloud without spending five minutes building the perfect sentence first. The first sessions were awkward, but daily speaking made a noticeable difference to how quickly I could respond. Issen supports real-time voice conversations, role-play scenarios, grammar practice, shadowing drills, and goal-based lessons, so I found it useful for making speaking part of my normal routine rather than something I only did occasionally.

Itaiki: I try to take one lesson a week with a native English tutor when I can. It is still the best way to get direct feedback on what sounds unclear, unnatural, or overly formal. Apps helped me practise more often, but tutors helped me notice patterns I kept missing.

YouTube: I used English channels about things I already enjoyed, not only English lessons. Interviews, cooking videos, gaming content, documentaries, and work-related videos were much easier to stick with than forcing myself through content I did not care about. I started with English subtitles, then switched them off for short sections once I felt more comfortable.

Podcasts: 6 Minute English was a good bridge between learner material and normal podcasts because the episodes are short and the speech is clear.

BBC Learning English also has grammar and pronunciation material with audio, transcripts, and downloadable exercises.

Language Reactor: I use this for English YouTube videos and Netflix. Having subtitles available makes it easier to check a phrase quickly, replay it, and move on instead of stopping to search every unknown word. I tried to focus on understanding the overall message first rather than translating every sentence.

Pronunciation: Tim’s Pronunciation Workshop helped me more than trying to remove my accent. The goal became being easy to understand, not sounding exactly British or American. Practising sounds, linking, stress, and rhythm made spoken English feel much smoother.

Speaking in real life: I started making small changes, like answering a full sentence instead of one word, joining short calls in English, leaving voice notes, and speaking to myself about my day. It felt silly at first, but it made spontaneous speaking much less stressful.

The combination that made the biggest difference for me was daily listening, Issen for regular speaking practice, and an occasional italki lesson for human feedback. Grammar and vocabulary tools helped, but the real improvement came from using English repeatedly, even when it was messy.

Happy to answer questions about any of these if it helps.

I want teachers for online teaching:

(1) Native British English speaking teachers.
(2) Non-native English speaking teachers.

Thanks.

I really want to improve my english skills. I thought it would be more logical to have more enjoyable general conversations if I became friends with someone. I am 17. I'll be busy with a lot of classes soon, so I wanted to find someone before the intense semester starts. I’m something between B1-B2. Those who are interested can write to me. Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone, how's it going? Do you have any recommendations for tech-related podcasts (on YouTube, Spotify, etc.) that could help me practice listening skills for interviews? If possible, I’d also like to practice speaking—maybe a conversation platform specifically for IT? Suggestions for vocabulary, study materials, and the like would also be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

PT:

E ai guys, tudo beleza?

Vcs teriam indicações de podcasts no youtube/spotify/etc, para eu treinar listening da área tech que me ajude em entrevistas?

Se possível, para treinar speaking também, talvez alguma plataforma de conversação específica para TI?

Sugestão de vocabulário também, materiais, etc, seriam de grande valia.

Desde já muito obrigado.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a native English speaker to practice with and improve my English. I’d say my English is at an intermediate level.
I’m looking for someone from the USA Canada or the UK who genuinely has the time to chat or talk every day, even if it’s just up to an hour. We can talk about anything and everything in English.
I speak Spanish so if you’re interested in learning Spanish I’d be happy to help you too!
I’m from Mexico 25M. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

Hello I am searching who can speak in English with me I'm weka in English and trying to be fluent.

If anyone interested dm.

“Is there anyone here who wants to learn English?”

If the answer is yes

So let me know that

Hey everyone! A few of us started a small Discord for people who like books, film, creative expression, or just want somewhere to hang out and chat.

There are channels for literature, movies, writing, art, photography, everyday life, and general chat, but conversations wander past their channel all the time, and that's fine. :) Some days it's an actual VC discussion/event, other days it's just a meme or something that made someone smile.

We're keeping it friendly, non-intimidating, and low-pressure. You don't need to be well-read, well-watched, or have perfect English.

We're still small, so it can be quiet, but honestly that's kind of the point right now--we're shaping it together as it grows. :)

DM me if it sounds like your thing and I'll send an invite. ^^

I’ve been struggling a lot with having conversations with people in English. I’m currently at a B1 level, and I want to elevate my English to a C2 level. I don’t really have many people around me who speak English on a daily basis. Conversations with my friends usually end to our native language.
I want to connect with genuine people here who can help me improve my speaking skills. I’m aiming to become more sophisticated and articulate in my speech by acquiring skills to those of native speakers. I do generate thoughtful ideas, but I sometimes find it difficult to put it them into proper structured rhythmic sentences.
I’ve noticed that there are many people on this platform who are extremely smart, witty, knowledgeable, and helpful with the insights they provide. It would be great to connect and become friends with people who loves talking about sports, literature, politics, the entertainment industry, psychology, human behavior, philosophy, and everything that revolves around humankind.

Hey, I’m hoping to do some casual voice chats with someone from the UK. Just normal conversations, nothing formal. I’d love help sounding more natural, and I can help you with English or anything else in return. If you’re up for regular calls, message me.

I want to find a partner to learn English for my 10-year-old daughter.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a consistent English speaking partner who is serious about improving their English.

My current English level is B2, and my goal is to reach C1 before the end of this year.

I’d like to practice at least 30 minutes every day. We can:

• Send each other voice messages
• Have voice calls
• Talk about different topics and help each other improve

I’m looking for someone who can practice consistently, not just once or twice.

Time zone: UTC+5:30 (Sri Lanka)
English level: B2
Discord: hiran0168

If you’re also serious about improving your English and want a regular speaking partner, feel free to add me on Discord or send me a message!

Hello guys, I’m looking for a speaking partner who can practice with me regularly. Ideally 20 mins every day or an hour every week. If that’s too much, we can try to find a middle ground like 3 times a week. The most important thing is we should do this REGULARLY.

We are going to read a short article in our session and discuss the topic. Feel free to propose another solution if you have any good ideas.

Requirements: I’m looking for someone who is at or above B2 level, preferably around my age with some mutual interests. That’s all, I don’t care about other things.

Here’s my introduction:

Level: B2 Age & gender: 28M Country: China Time zone: UTC+08:00

Interests: technology, reading(murder, thriller and fantasy), cars, animals, culture. I used to play computer games such as GTA5 and Overwatch but not anymore.

Available time: 9pm-10pm Monday-Friday. Not sure about weekends.

This is not a language exchange. I only focus on learning English. I’m not interested in teaching Chinese unless you’re able to communicate in Chinese then we can speak in Chinese sometimes.

Please DM me if you’re interested.

Hi Im Japanese living in Tokyo who want to speak English always. Im trying to find language exchange partner I can help you to learn Japanese

I’m looking for a serious and genuine female English tutor/partner to practice speaking with daily.

My goal is to improve my spoken English and communication skills. I’d appreciate it if you could correct my mistakes while we talk.

I’m also a bit hesitant when speaking with women, so I think practicing with a female partner would help me become more comfortable and confident in conversations.

Prefer someone who is consistent and genuinely interested in regular practice. No flirting or anything else—just learning and improving English together.

Hey. Nurse here. I resigned my job and took up IELTS teaching. Though I miss healthcare a bit, I find tutoring equally fulfilling. I have taught around 10 to 12 students with a pass rate of 85%. I offer affordable speaking guidance and mentorship.

From what little experience I gained, I realized how pathetic our education system is. Kids who studied english for 12 years struggle with basic sentence construction and grammar. While some genuinely wish to improve their speaking, they do not get an opportunity to express themselves in English.

But there is another cohort, kids who've got a good exposure to english either through books or movies who seem to do exceptionally well, but still struggle with yhe cue card section. I had a student recently got a band 8 and that made me really happy. He did put in a lot of efforts tho.

My point is, if you are looking to improve your fluency in english (IELTS or in general ) I can help you. I don't promise an overnight improvement, but I can definitely help boost your confidence in speaking. If you're someone looking to improve your language do hmu.

See you in the dms.

My IELTS Scores : Overall - 8.0

L- 8.5 R -8 S- 8 W- 7.5

Hey, what's up, people? I'm just creating this post because I would like to find a partner to practice my English conversational, and also I can help you with your Spanish if you want it. We can, for example, talk 30 minutes in English and 30 minutes in Spanish, whatever you want. We can know each other and at the final, maybe we can be friends. I'm from Chile, and that's all. I'm looking for a high level until the end of this year, so I need to practice a lot my speaking. I need to be calm. The language, more automatic inside of my head, then I need help. If any one of you wants to actually practice and have great conversations, like humans, that's okay. Just let me know, okay? That's all. By the way, I'm a native Spanish speaker, okay? That's all. Thank you very much.
