Speaking first
Textbooks teach you to read English. We teach you to speak it.
Years of grammar, and you still freeze when it’s your turn to answer? That isn’t a lack of talent. Speaking only grows when you speak — with a real person who answers back.
Textbooks
Rules, reading and tests.
Apps
New words and daily streaks.
A native teacher
Real conversation, from the very first lesson.
For Russian and Kazakh speakers
6 English traps for Russian and Kazakh speakers
English sets these traps for anyone whose first language is Russian or Kazakh. Tap a card to see how a native speaker would say it.
I am ? student.
I am a student.
Russian and Kazakh have no articles, so “a” and “the” go missing. A native speaker hears it instantly.
I live here five years.
I’ve lived here for five years.
Russian and Kazakh both use the present tense here. English needs the present perfect.
I bought bread in the magazine.
I bought bread at the shop.
A magazine is something you read. The place you buy bread is a shop or a store.
She is a very accurate person.
She is a very tidy person.
Accurate means precise. The Russian аккуратный — careful and neat — is tidy or neat in English.
I sink so.
I think so.
Neither Russian nor Kazakh has a “th” sound, so “think” often comes out as “sink” or “fink” at first.
Good mornink!
Good morning!
Russian has no ng sound, so “morning” often comes out as “mornink” — but Kazakh already has this exact sound: ң, as in таң, dawn.
The fastest way past these traps is real conversation with a native speaker.Free lesson

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do the teachers speak my language?
No — on purpose. The lesson is fully in English, which is what gets you speaking. Our coordinator helps with everything else on WhatsApp.
We’re starting from zero. Will this work?
For children, yes: lessons are built on games, pictures and repetition, so your child gets used to English directly, without translating. For adults starting from zero, we’ll tell you honestly in the free lesson whether this format suits you.
How much does it cost?
One-to-one lessons are $10 for 60 minutes. Your first lesson is free and lasts 30 minutes. Small groups and self-study are priced separately: message us and we’ll tell you more.
What if I miss a lesson?
Tell us more than 24 hours ahead and we’ll move it. Any later and the lesson counts — your teacher kept that time for you.
Can I change teacher?
Yes. Tell the coordinator and we’ll match you with someone else. You’re a student of the school, not of one person.
How do I pay?
By card. Once we’ve agreed on your format and schedule, our coordinator will tell you how to pay.
