Conversation
Practise Speaking English – Naturally and Confidently
Many professionals in Germany have good command of English grammar and understand texts without difficulty – yet when they need to speak freely, they struggle to find the right words. This is precisely where our English conversation training comes in. At Simmonds Language Services, you practise what conventional language courses often neglect: fluent, spontaneous speaking in realistic everyday situations. Since 2004, we have been helping professionals and executives overcome their speaking barriers and communicate in English with confidence – in both business and personal life.

Sound Familiar?
You understand English well – but when it comes to speaking, you block. „I haven't spoken English in years.“ is one of the most common sentences professionals bring to us. What's missing isn't grammar – it's speaking routine and confidence.
„I understand everything – but I don't dare speak.“ Speaking routine through regular live conversation with native-speaking trainers.
„In meetings I freeze and lose my words.“ Realistic work scenarios: practise meetings, presentations, and spontaneous discussions.
“I just lack speaking practice.” The trainer sets the focus; the AI avatar supports speaking practice between sessions.
Most of the Time in Active Conversation
Our conversation training differs fundamentally from traditional English courses. While group classes often leave you speaking for only a few minutes per hour, you spend most of your training time with us in active conversation. Native-speaking trainers from the UK and USA guide you through practical scenarios: from casual small talk at a networking event to lively discussions on current topics and spontaneous conversation situations over a business lunch. We work specifically on your pronunciation, vocabulary, and eloquence. Every session is individually tailored to your level and professional needs.
Live Sessions Plus AI-Supported Speaking Practice
Your trainer leads the weekly live sessions, sets the focus and gives personal feedback. Between sessions, you can practise natural conversations with the AI avatar and receive feedback on grammar, word choice and fluency. Your trainer sees the practice results and adapts the training.
Tools and Confidence
Whether you want to communicate more confidently with international colleagues at work, prepare for a conference, or simply lose the fear of speaking – our conversation training gives you the tools and confidence for it. We train not only vocabulary and phrases but also the soft skills of conversation: active listening, appropriate responses, bridging pauses elegantly, and changing topics naturally. The result: you do not sound like someone speaking a foreign language, but like someone who communicates.
What You Will Learn
