speaking

Do you speak English?

It’s pretty nerve-racking to start a conversation with someone…

Some English speakers have trouble using the language…

Here’s a good example how to practise seminar skills…

Learn how to disagree politely to encourage discussion…

London is a big city and it sometimes feels hard to meet people but here is a great way to meet new people with similar interests. Try Meetup.com and join a group…

Enjoy your hobbies, make friends and practise your English at the same time!

You should also get in touch with the Middlesex University Student Union to join clubs and societies to make new friends on campus, get help and support or just find out when the next party is happening…

MDXSU also has an iPhone and Android app you can download.

You could try volunteering with Volunteering England or Do-it to get work experience and meet new people.

You could also find new flatmates from other countries so you can all speak English at home! Try Student Spareroom, Room Buddies, Pads for Students or Easy Roommate.

Finally, go travelling and meet new people where you stay. Try using Couchsurfing or Hostelworld.
