Free English Conversation Groups

Our English conversation group is a supportive place to practice English language skills.  Whether you are looking to get a job, meet people or just to get more confident with your English – we can help. 

The groups are mixed level. You do not need to book or reserve your place – just come along.

We will provide tea, coffee and a warm welcome.

These sessions are mostly for people who are housed in temporary accommodation in Crawley, however everyone is welcome. We also have groups throughout Mid Sussex which are aimed at anyone: See our main Language Café page.

Please note

  • These groups are conversation practice – not formal classes
  • The groups don’t affect benefits
  • We can’t give out certificates
  • Spaces are limited to 15 people – we cannot guarantee you will be able to attend 

Details

The sessions will take place on Thursdays in Crawley at Broadfield Community Centre, Broadfield Barton, Crawley, RH11 9BA from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.
