It is a great service and very useful. I value it particularly for my languages that are difficult to practice on a daily basis.

I hugely appreciate the opportunity to practice speaking Japanese through King's Language Centre. Atsuko and the staff at KLC have been enormously helpful, and the sessions have enabled me to put new grammar and vocabulary that I am learning into practice, and to enjoy a fun conversation about all sorts of things including daily life, culture and travel. Honto ni arigatou gozaimasu!

Had a pleasant conversation and enjoyed the experience. Thank you for providing this opportunity.

irene was great - she spoke clearly and slowly and was kind and patient and I enjoyed my speaking more than I have in past! we only ad 15 minutes though as it didn't start till late

Very kind and helpful. I really appreciate your support!

The speaking practice sessions are extremely valuable and useful. It's wonderful to be able to practice conversation with a native speaker here on the Strand, particularly for me as a busy member of staff trying to fit in language learning among multiple other things. Special thanks to Atsuko for going above and beyond, and for being so a kind and helpful with my elementary Japanese!

Very nice person, giving useful advices!

Extremely helpful

Very useful to have extra chance to practice speaking and get feedback.

Emma was really helpful, she asked great questions and engaged fully in helping me improve my French skills. It was lovely to meet her and I really enjoyed our session.

Very helpful to discuss the topic for my oral exam. She gave me some helpful tips as well

The session was very useful and Sara O was kind, attentive and helpful. It has definitely boosted my confidence for the exam

Rose is the best!!!

very informative section, helped me with some complicated gramma, please keep this service available for language learners.

Speaking practice is amazing! Clementine is so nice and we have great conversations that are always really relaxed and interesting. It has improved my confidence a lot.

Ahumdo lil'Allah Sara was very helpful and patience which made the practice session very productive and beneficial.

I have already booked my next session with Sara O

Very helpful and supportive in all respects. Thank you so much

Very enjoyable speaking session today. Immensely helpful to practise speaking Korean.

Sara was super helpful and encouraging and made me feel comfortable and we covered a good amount in the little time we had

I like Sara's approach and how she makes me progress quickly

Very informative and enjoyable session today.

Very helpful for my English Speaking practice

아까 시간 보내 주셔서 감사합니다! 우리 2주 후에 다시 만나면 좋겠어요 .

very good, really helpful

Great! Thank you so much — I really appreciate your patience and support.

The language speaking practice sessions are a really great benefit for students and staff and my experience as a language learner (Japanese) has been very positive. Many thanks to Atsuko for her generous help and support. I intend to volunteer as an English language speaking partner ASAP.

I used your speaking service for the first time, and I found it quite encouraging which allowed me to continue speaking for giving explanation. Ritthigaa, the tuitor at the time, was also patient and careful to listen to me even I often paused during my responces. I am convinced that your speaking practice programme helps me improve my public speaking skill.

My Italian speaking buddy Greta is fantastic, we spoke about our goal at the beginning of the session and she was excellent in tuning into my needs and she gave me instant correction and feedback which helps me to improve. At the end, she also gave me a debriefing and encouragement, which is really helpful. She is articulate, clear and very easy to talk to. I hope to continue to use this service regularly and I believe it would be great boost to my speaking and confidence. Thank you.

Very good — highly recommended. Sara was extremely patient and helpful. Thanks!

It was good to practise my French with a native speaker, however, I felt a bit judged at times when I made mistakes :/

I had a lovely chat with Amandine; she was super nice about my French and corrected me when needed, not in a negative light.

Lila was so lovely. I booked this appointment to refresh my italian as I hadn't spoken it in a while. We had a really nice conversation. Would do again ;)

I really appreciate how she used her own time to help others despite having a busy schedule herself

Alix is easy to talk to and very helpful

Ritthigaa A. is so nice, and I appreciate her encouragement.

I really enjoyed my 30 mins in French with Rose. It is always great to practice my vocabulary while discussing a topic I am learning in class. Thank you!

Very useful and I certainly will book another one in due course.

Really easy to book and very useful!

I enjoyed the speaking practice with the buddy. She was very kind and supporting.

I love the service and Jia Jia was great!

I think if there is availability for volunteers and allows to do at least 2 sessions a week It will be a big help! I am really amazed by the service

Very helpful session, Lila was encouraging and supportive and put me at ease. Grazie!

The volunteer are very nice to me.

Very helpful session from Carolina who was encouraging and a pleasure to chat to.

Always useful to practice pronunciation and reinforce vocabulary.

Really helpful with pronunciation and reinforcing material from class.

Speaking practice is so useful!

I really noticed an improvement just with a few lessons. Keejoo, the korean volunteer, is amazing at explaining!

Ewan is great :)

A really useful addition to formal classes.

Very useful to practice speaking. Yuthong helped clarify several points. The sessions are a real bonus in additional to formal classes.

Alissa perfectly adapted to my level

THe instructions email sent does not have the correct room number. I went all around the building and lost quite a lot if time...

Apart from that excellent experience.

Helpful, friendly - staff and speaker

The session was very useful and enjoyable. It has boosted my confidence and to know that even if my grammar is not correct, I could communicate.

Very useful. Yuthong was friendly and helpful. The session built my confidence in speaking Chinese.

She was really lovely and patient.

perfect practice!

Ana is an amazing teacher! Not only is she supportive when it comes to learning Spanish, but she is also an incredible person. A pure delight to chat with her!

next time i will take class in person because the online ‘s sound quality is not very ideal for lanaguage beginner . but the practice was amazing !

It was so helpful, and not intimidating at all!

I really appreciate the opportunity to be able to practice speaking with a volunteer and it's so nice of them to give their time up to do this

Yara helped me to understand German grammatical structures and review class notes, filling in gaps in my understanding - I feel more prepared for exams now!

Lila was great - she challenged me and stretched my Italian and gave me a great opportunity to practise!

Alix S is very knowledgeable and helpful, thank you!

I’ve been lucky to practice with Zach. Truly appreciate his dedication to helping me improve in every session. Also a big thank you to King's Language Center for the opportunity!

Very helpful. Meixuan gave me some useful feedback and boosted my confidence as a beginner.

Folasade is very nice, she can listen to me patiently and introduce a couple of useful websites xx

The staff were helpful and friendly and Lila was great to practice with.

Apolline was lovely.

It was great chatting with Yara! Our conversation challenged me to think on my feet as she both supported me with vocab reminders and gave me time to figure things out myself. I had a great time talking with her.

Really helpful
