Real English Conversations The Bridge Between ESL Classroom Education and Real World Communication If this is your first time hearing about Real English Conversations, there is something you should know Instead of basing our lessons on a structured textbook or curriculum, we base our lessons on real conversations. We’ve turned ‘ ’ into lessons with specific exercises to focus on developing the most important skills for communication: speaking, listening and the vocabulary people use in everyday life. Everything on this website, all of, and the lessons, have been created to help students bridge the learning gap between traditional ESL classroom education and the ‘real world English’ that they need to make friends, get a job and feel confident communicating in English as an immigrant, for business, or as a traveler. On this page, we explain common problems that are holding students back from gaining the skills they need to succeed and explain how our lessons can effectively develop those missing skills.
