Overview
Our General English classes are taught using the Callan Method, a fun and interactive way of learning, which involves systematic revision and reinforcement. In the lesson, there is a lot of speaking and listening, but there is also reading and writing practice, so that you revise and consolidate what you have learned.
The Callan Method was first developed by Mr Robin Callan in 1960 and is based on the Natural Approach. Similarly to the way children learn their first language: the student first hears a new word, then imitates what he hears, later sees the word written and finally writes it himself. The Callan Method has 12 stages, from beginner to advanced, and takes an average of 1 year to complete from start to finish.
So, what exactly happens in a Callan Method lesson, and how does it work?
The teacher asks you questions. Each question practices a word, an expression, or a piece of grammar. The teacher asks the questions to the students one by one and repeats them twice. This way, you have a chance to listen if you don’t understand everything the first time. The teacher helps you with your answers and corrects all your pronunciation mistakes the moment you make them.
Although the Callan Method emphasises the importance of speaking, this does not mean chatting (free conversation). You learn English quickly with the Callan Method partly because the lessons are organised, efficient, fast and busy. In every lesson, apart from learning new English, you also do a lot of revision, so that you can remember what you have studied. The reading and dictation practice is an essential part of Callan’s systematic revision process. First, you learn a new word in the speaking part of the lesson; a few lessons later, you meet it again when you are reading; finally, the word appears in a dictation. This is all written into the Callan Method; it happens automatically.
Free Online Callan Method Student Practice Area
Studying with us gives you free access to the interactive Student Practice Area. It works on your PC, tablet or mobile, so you can carry on learning wherever you are and whenever you want to. You can listen to the same questions that you heard in the lesson, answer them, record yourself and compare your answers to a recording of a native English speaker. You can write dictations while watching videos and do lots of app-friendly Extra Practice exercises to revise what you have learnt at school.

I recommend this school for those who want to not be afraid to talk. And improve their conversational skills. I learned many new words that are really used in conversation. Here are good and attentive teachers. Lessons sometimes very fun! I am glad to study here!

2/15/2019 The school I go to very well leads classes using the Callan method. Thanks to the changing teachers I have the opportunity to pay attention to various important information. The teacher asks questions that you have to answer, but do not worry if you do not know what to say, the teacher will effectively guide you and help you, that's why you break the barrier of fear of error. We learn from our own and other people's mistakes. What is important is the repetition of the material being processed, which helps to record acquired messages. If you want to learn to speak in English, then this school is just for you. I recommend 🙂

3/07/2018 I study English with “Speakeasy School of English” from April 2018. I like the method which is using the “Speakeasy School of English”. “The Callan Method” suit for all levels students. Native teachers asked you a questions and you answer. Every lesson a teachers change with each other. You listening , understanding , speaking and writing. It’s always funny and productive. I tried different English courses but this School and method is the best for studying English.
Welcome to “Speakeasy School of English”!

1/25/2019 - My mother was the one who attended this school while she was visiting me in London for two week. I was astonished by the progress she made over the course of these two weeks! Just for you to understand, she has been learning English for the last 3 years, but was not able to speak at all!!! After these two weeks she managed to overcome her fear and started to communicate with waiters and our neighbors (just a basic conversation, but still huge progress for her!!!) however, this method requires you to spend a lot of time going through materials yourself before the class!! Otherwise it is useless!!!
