Internationals

Whether you are here in Southampton for study, work or pleasure, we want to help you to feel at home. We run regular activities to help you to make friends and settle in here in the UK.

Our classes are held at 5.15pm on Tuesdays in term time at Burgess Road Library. We have two groups: one for pronunciation and grammar, during which you will learn British pronunciation, idioms and phrases for everyday life, and one for conversation, where you will discuss a range of topics.  


Please note that we do not offer official training for English-language exams - we are here to provide informal opportunities for international members of the community to speak, learn and improve their English.


Anyone is welcome; we have a whole range of nationalities and people from kinds of backgrounds each week. Our classes are primarily aimed at adults, but teenagers are also welcome as long as they are accompanied by a parent/guardian/friend over the age of eighteen. Young children are welcome, but they must be supervised by their parents/guardians as we do not provide childcare.


Our classes are completely free of charge and there is no need to book; you can simply arrive at 5.15pm. Free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.
