A beginner English course should give you language you can recognize and try using. These free options start with familiar situations, short conversations and a focused grammar topic that appears in everyday speech.
Choose one conversation route as your main starting point. The prepositions course is a small supporting lesson sequence, useful when words about place, time and movement keep causing confusion.

Recommended courses and what makes each useful
-
1. Everyday English in Community Situations
This introductory ESOL course teaches language through familiar settings such as a bus, a market, school, an appointment and a post office. The situations give the words an immediate context.
Start here if you want a small set of practical situations to revisit. Pause after a useful phrase, say it aloud and imagine when you would need to use it in your own day.
-
2. Beginner English Conversations
This course uses numbered, scripted conversation lessons to develop everyday spoken English. Topics include time, interests, feelings, family, comparisons, shopping and home.
It is the more extensive conversation route in this shortlist. Follow the sequence or revisit a familiar topic, then try replacing a detail in the example with something true about yourself.
-
3. Prepositions for Place, Time and Movement
This short sequence introduces what a preposition does before examining place, time, transport and movement. Each topic supplies a specific context for a small but important part of a sentence.
Use it alongside conversation practice when those relationships are unclear. It is a targeted grammar course rather than a complete beginner-English program, so connect the examples with the phrases you are already learning.
Start with everyday situations or a conversation sequence
Choose Community Situations for a compact practical starting point, or Beginner Conversations for a wider set of everyday topics. Use Prepositions as supporting study when place, time or movement words are the specific problem, then return to speaking and listening practice.
Frequently asked questions
Which free course offers the wider beginner conversation sequence?
Beginner English Conversations covers introductions, routines, directions, time, family, shopping and other everyday topics through numbered scripted lessons.
Can the prepositions course replace a full beginner English course?
No. It is a focused grammar sequence. Use it to clarify place, time, transport and movement while a conversation course supplies broader listening and speaking practice.
