Getting started

What types of meetings can I join?+

Choose from general discussions, structured debates, IELTS speaking practice and career-focused sessions. Each room is clearly labelled by topic, course type and category, so you can choose one that matches your interests and goals.

What equipment do I need?+

You can join using a computer or smartphone. All you need is a browser and a microphone. Headphones are recommended for clearer sound, and a camera is optional.

How far ahead can I book?+

The timetable shows the next four weeks.

In the room

What if nobody talks?+

That is what the host is for. Every breakout starts with a question card, and the host drops in when a pair goes quiet.

Can I just listen the first time?+

Yes, and plenty of people do. Tell the host at the start and they will keep the pressure off until you are ready.

What if I have to leave halfway?+

You can leave at any time.

How much is a membership?+

Every meeting is led by a Yappa host who welcomes the group, introduces the topic, keeps the conversation moving and makes sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
