No. This session is suitable for all levels. Many people attend to build confidence gradually, and you’re always free to take part at your own pace. What kind of feedback will I receive? Feedback is optional, supportive, and developmental. The focus is on encouragement and helping you grow in confidence, not criticism. English isn’t my first language — can I still attend? Yes. These sessions are open to everyone who wants to grow their speaking skills. Speaking English as an additional language is not a barrier to attending, and many people find this a supportive space to practice speaking with confidence at their own pace.
