This page will introduce our community on Facebook, a place to practise your advanced English speaking skills.

Use our Facebook group to practise your English conversation skills
Practice, practice practice! There's nothing like being able to practise your English conversation skills to improve your confidence in using the language. To help you do this we've set up a group on the popular social networking site, Facebook so you can meet up with other advanced learners of English who are looking to practise their speaking skills.

Getting started
Get instructions on how to join our Splendid Speaking group on Facebook. Once you've created an account get a Skype address. Learn how to use Skype for language practice with our guide for EFL/ESL teachers.
