Can I ask the teacher questions during a live class?

The streamed live classes are one-way, so there's no direct interaction with the teacher there. For real-time back-and-forth with a teacher, the Speaking Classes plan adds small-group Zoom sessions instead.

How the app builds your English

Six skills, in the order that actually gets you speaking — from your first sounds to full conversations.

Plenty of speaking practice

Structured speaking activities get you talking from your very first lesson, building the confidence to produce real, natural English.

Build your vocabulary the fun way

Useful, everyday vocabulary taught through engaging activities and games, so new words actually stick.

Think and learn in English, without translating

Our special method helps you understand English directly, so you stop translating in your head and start thinking in the language.

Simplify grammar, without the memorising

Fun, hands-on activities let you practise real grammar structures in context, rather than memorising rules from a textbook.

Tons of listening activities

Exercises in a wide range of accents sharpen your ability to comprehend real people, films, and everyday conversations.

Improve your pronunciation

Clear, visually engaging video lessons help you hear and copy the right sounds, so you can speak with real confidence.

How live classes work

Live classes, streamed from our school in London, England, are included with Speaking Classes. Here's what to expect.

How do the live classes work?

You watch live classes streamed from our school in London, England, from anywhere in the world, so it feels like you're learning alongside the other students in real time.

How many classes can I attend?

You get a minimum of 4 hours of live classes a week, running in the morning, evening and on Saturdays, London time. Open the app and tap a live circle to join — we're always working to add more.

Can I try a class before I pay?

Yes. You can watch the first 5 minutes of any live class in the app before subscribing.

Can I ask the teacher questions?

Streamed live classes run one-way, so there's no direct interaction with the teacher there. When there's no live presentation running, try repeating the phrases on screen, building your own sentences from the pictures shown, or working through the app's exercises until the next class. For real-time, back-and-forth conversation, our Zoom speaking classes are built for exactly that.

Can I use a computer or tablet instead of my phone?

Absolutely. Download the app, or on a computer, click the Focus App button in the top corner of focusenglish.co.uk to join from your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any experience to start?

No. The app covers everything from complete beginner (A1) through to advanced (C1), including Cambridge exam and IELTS preparation once you're ready.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. Both the App and Speaking Classes plans are billed with no long-term contract, and you can cancel whenever you like.

What's the difference between App and Speaking Classes?

App gives you full access to every video lesson, quiz and your AI speaking partner, with no live teacher interaction. Speaking Classes includes everything in App, plus live classes streamed from London and small-group Zoom sessions with a real teacher.

Do I need to speak English already to use the app?

Not at all. Whether your first language is Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, French or something else, the app is built to take you from your very first words to fluent conversation.
