The Talkative Club
A year-round, recurring English-speaking community — not a 12-week course. Join anytime, speak from day one, and keep growing week after week.
Practice speaking English every single week — for as long as you like
Members can join at any time, participate immediately, practise repeatedly, take on meeting roles, deliver prepared speeches, receive feedback, and gradually grow into club leaders. There's no fixed batch and no final week — just consistent, real practice.
Combines the best mechanics of established speaking clubs — prepared speeches, impromptu speaking, evaluations, timing and rotating roles — with conversation practice, networking, role-play and fun speaking games.
- 01 Rolling membership — no fixed start or end date, join whenever you're ready
- 02 Weekly 60–90 minute meetings built around speaking, not lecturing
- 03 A structured path from guest → speaker → active member → Talkative Leader
- 04 Every accent, every learning level and every attempt is respected
Every member should speak, listen, participate and connect at every meeting.
Built for the way you speak at your stage of life
