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.
