The purpose of Free English Conversation Classes
The free English conversation classes at Ottawa English provide an opportunity for you to practice English and meet other people who are learning English all over the world.
Conversation Class times
Our English Conversation Classes are on Thursday mornings between 11am and noon Eastern Standard Time (EST). That’s 7pm in Saudi Arabia and 8pm in UAE. These online classes are 100% free via zoom.
I will be recording these free conversation classes, and will be posting sections that may be helpful to others on YouTube. By participating in these free English classes you are agreeing to a recording of you, expressing yourself in English, being posted on YouTube.
To participate in our free conversation classes:
Send me an email (angela@ottawa-english.com) explaining:
- why you want to take the class.
- which classes and topics you’re interested in.
Your email will help me put you in a group with participants at a similar English level.
I’ll respond to your email with a short article about the topic. I’ll also send you some questions so that you can prepare some of your vocabulary before class.
I’ll also send you a zoom class link.
When it’s time for class, you’ll click on the class link, enter the password, and register on the Zoom App with your name, email, country, etc).
I’ll let you into the classroom when I see you in the waiting room.
Rules
Each free English conversation class has a maximum of 4 people, so please let me know if you can’t attend. I’ll give your spot to someone else.
Be punctual, polite and courteous, or I’ll remove you from the classroom and my list.
You can attend more than one free English conversation class, but new students, or particularly easy-going participants, get priority.
By participating in these free English classes you are agreeing to a recording of you, expressing yourself in English, being posted on YouTube.
Private Conversation Classes
I can’t promise to include everyone in my free English Conversation classes. Therefore, if you would like some private conversation classes with me, please call or text: 613-614-6460, or email: angela@ottawa-english.com
