Classes and apps teach you words. Conversation teaches you to use them. When you chat with another learner, nobody judges your mistakes — you are both there to improve.
- Real, unpredictable conversations — not scripts
- Meet people from many countries and cultures
- Practise at your own speed: you have time to think before you write
- Learn new words and expressions from your partners
🛡️ Built to be safe
- Anonymous, text-only chat for adults (18+)

- Offensive language is filtered
- Skip or report anyone with one click
Frequently asked questions
Is LearnEnglish.chat free?
Yes. Chatting with other learners, the practice pages and the games are free. The site is supported by ads.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Choose your level, confirm you are 18 or older, and start chatting. No e-mail or account is needed.
Who will I talk to?
Other people who are learning or practising English — from every country. You are matched with someone at a similar level when possible.
Is it safe?
Chats are anonymous and text-only. Links, phone numbers, e-mails and social-media handles are blocked, inappropriate language is filtered, and you can report or skip anyone with one click.
What if nobody is online?
Play a quick vocabulary game while you wait. If it takes too long, you can practise with our clearly-labelled AI partner until a real learner joins.
Can I practise speaking, not just writing?
Right now the chat is text-only, which is a great way to build vocabulary and confidence. Read the sample dialogues on our practice pages out loud to work on speaking.
