Welcome! We are so happy you’re here. This is a place to practise real English in a friendly, safe way. You will speak with a Canadian volunteer who wants to help you feel more confident.
Here is how it works:
If you are a student in the Haven Language Program (HLP), you must meet with a volunteer at least 2 times every week.
This is an important part of your learning and helps you improve faster.
You can meet on different days, and each conversation can be short or long — that’s up to you and your volunteer.
✅ Practising often is the best way to feel more confident in speaking English!
Your first chat will be simple and friendly.
You will talk about yourself — your name, where you’re from, and your daily life.
This helps you and your volunteer get to know each other and feel more comfortable.
After this first chat, you can choose fun topics to talk about together!
After the first conversation, you and your volunteer will choose a Chat Pack from a list.
Each Chat Pack has 4–6 small conversations. Try to finish the full pack together — this helps you see your progress!
