MEETUPS::
ENGLISH
Meet cool people from all corners of the world. Speak English with them and expand your NETWORK. Your network is your net worth! In Feb. 2021 we went online and quickly went from members in about 10 countries to more than 50 countries.
PRE-COVID-19: Adult students simply do not have EXTRA time to dedicate to language acquisition. We simply create the types of events they would ordinarily do anyway, and do it in English. The participant can bring their husband or children to a Thanksgiving Celebration, for example, have fun, eat interesting food, meet new international friends – while speaking English. So the student simply uses the time they would have been doing something social to improve their English. Events include meeting in local bars, celebrations like Thanksgiving dinner, Hiking, Visiting sites and museums, going out to dance together and anything else that someone proposes or we can invent ourselves.
POST-COVID-19: We would have never imagined how exciting the online wespeakenglish meetups would be. In fact, it took us about one year to go online but once we did our new friends rapidly expanded. We only meet twice a week for now but soon our offer will increase. (See our membership map below).

CORPORATE::
COMPANY Coaching
It is no secret that many companies spend lots of money on their English training programs, with very bad results. Despite this the Schools continue to offer the same old ‘THE CAT IS UNDER THE TABLE’ lessons, based on exercises in books and grammar, which simply DO NOT WORK. We consult with companies to create the learning context specific to the company’s needs. A few companies located close to each other can also share the cost of setting up one language Hub that several companies use together.
According to Chomsky, language can neither be learned nor taught. He believes that it is an internal biological function much like growing two arms. It Since we also believe that language is acquired by being in an environment where the language is used, we do just that, we create Language Sub-cultures where the target language is spoken!
I have personally worked with the current Italian Army Special Forces Protocol Officer representing Italy in the USA, based at Fort Bragg. An important Vice President at Enel Green Power and other top managers. CEO at SGS and other top managers. SGS is the world leader in Compliance, Health and Safety, Training and many other B2B services, with more than 80,000 employees and present in more than 162 countries. Technical Director of Hitachi Rail and many others. We are experienced in getting results for companies that have to be sure that their employees can perform in an English world.

Join the adventure - over 1,420 members in 120 countries!
There are more than 1,420 persons from more than 120 countries now in our group and the membership is growing daily. Our goal is to have events 4 days a week so that people wishing to have an almost full immersion English experience can do so without taking a flight. That is 16 events a month to speak English and have lots of fun while doing so.
