Original announcement
Limited-time offer: unlimited free English lessons.
◆ Instructor-led lessons are starting
Until now, our language-exchange sessions have offered a place to put the language you are learning into practice with people from other countries. SPILA will now begin instructor-led lessons, offering not only conversation practice through language exchange but also ways to develop language skills more effectively.
We will offer ‘input’ lessons to deepen understanding of grammar and expressions and build knowledge, as well as ‘output’ lessons focused on practising these in speech — helping bridge the gap between knowing an expression and being able to say it. These lessons will be taught by experienced instructors and will be paid.
Through lessons, you can learn accurate grammar and expressions, practise speaking, and then use what you have learned with native speakers.
We also plan Japanese lessons for learners of Japanese. Further details will be announced later.
◆ Priority invitation to free trial English lessons
To launch the paid lesson service, we will hold free English lessons from Sunday, September 18 through September 30. Many experienced, TESOL-certified international teachers are joining us.
You may attend as often as you like during the trial period. Places are limited, so please apply early.
◆ You can also book through the app
You can easily book lessons, check reservations and cancel them through the app.
◆ A space for members to connect is being created
We are also creating a chat space for registered SPILA members. Participants asked for a way to stay in touch with people they met through language exchange, so we decided to provide this space. We hope to keep listening to participants and improve SPILA as a place to learn and connect.
◆ Book language exchange through SPILA’s website too
In addition to trial lessons, language exchange can now be booked easily through SPILA’s website. Language-exchange sessions will remain free but will be limited to registered SPILA members. Please register for free membership on the site.
We look forward to welcoming you.
