Our English language course: fast, easy, infallible!
Callan Method — four times faster
The Speakeasy School teaches English using the Callan Method which works fast, is fun to use and guarantees success to everyone.
It teaches English in a quarter of the time taken by any other method on the market.
Talk, talk, talk
At other schools, students spend most of their time reading, writing in their notebook, listening to the teacher and little time actually speaking. They are learning about the language, not how to use it.
But a language is best learnt by speaking it. And students at a Callan school of english answer questions all the time, increasing their talking time at least ten times over other courses.
Easy
All the Callan Method asks of its students is to sit back, relax and enjoy the lesson.
Throughout a Speakeasy English language course, English is taught through constant repetition and revision of grammatically correct sentences.
Learning a language, like learning to walk, is believed to be principally a matter of developing the right reflexes — so language constructs are repeated over and over again until the student's reflex is automatic and unthinking.
If people stopped to think where to put their feet when running downstairs, they would fall. Students must learn to speak without thinking — when speaking, there is no time to think.
Successful
Anyone can learn a language with the Callan Method, regardless of age, nationality or learning ability:
- Callan classes are conducted at fast speed, which prevents boredom and allows students to hear more words repeated more times
- By revising everything four or five times, a Callan language course ensures that students remember what is learnt no matter how poor their memory.
- Because students must speak the whole time as well as listen, they simply have to learn, whether they want to or not!
Timetable
The timetable is arranged to allow choice and flexibility.
Students can choose to study for two or three hours a day, and between two and five times per week.
Each study hour is 50 minutes long, followed by a 10-minute break.
Classes are run in “blocks”, with each study block divided into three 50 minute periods:
- 9.30am-12.30pm — three 50-minute sessions
- 12.30pm-3.30pm — three 50-minute sessions
- 3.30pm-5.30pm — two 50-minute sessions
- 5.30pm-7.30pm — two 50-minute sessions
- 7.30pm-9.30pm — two 50-minute sessions

Before signing on, the student is given a series of free trial lessons.
