Hello and Welcome to our web site. We are situated in the Capital city of Sydney and the smaller south coast beach town of Wollongong, in NSW, Australia. We are not a large establishment, but a group of talented well traveled individuals who are able to teach personal English and Conversational and writing classes and workshops. Let's call us a Boutique College for foreign born and speaking adults. i.e. persons long out of school and over 18 years.​ We are a sophisticated, well spoken, well educated, civil people with many Degrees from many fine schools and Universities both from here and Internationally. Over the past 36 months [ until February 2020] a cross section of our students came from; China, [ Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macao], Japan, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Africa as well as some European countries, Italy, France, Germany, Norway and Spain.
There is no need to obtain a student Visa from Australian Authorities as this is a short 4 to 12 weeks course, this time is allowed for persons holding an Australian 3-6 months Visitors Visa.
​Our teachers speak among them over 20 languages, but they are the best at, ENGLISH! So, a group, college, school or whatever you wish to call us, dedicated to focus on our adult students to help them learn to speak and converse in everyday English well, if not better. Our students are mainly foreign born normal adults, over 18 years of age, who may need better English for private, social University Entrance or business reasons. Below you will find examples of our Boutique College's timetables, fees and offers insofar as spoken, conversational and written mid level and advanced English Language is concerned. Sometimes students only come to Sydney to improve their English and have nowhere to stay for 4 to 8 weeks in which case we shall endeavour to seek accommodation with a reputable Australian family nearby at a daily stipend.
We offer a conditional money back Guarantee! The Condition is, you must attend classes!

INTERESTING FACTS:

Arguably, English is also the most expressive and complex language with 200,000 words in common compared to 184,000 for German and 100,000 for French. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has 615,000 words (although many are archaic) and if you include technical and scientific terms English has millions and millions of words.
Unlike romantic languages that share Latin as a single common root, English started as a mixture of dialects brought over by Germanic invaders. In the middle ages, it was influenced by Scandinavian and French, and in the renaissance by German, Dutch, Latin and ancient Greek.
Consider the difference between “Pork” and “Pig,” Beef” and “Cow”, “Poultry” and “Chicken.” Poultry comes from the French nobility (who did the eating) whereas chicken comes from Germanic farmers.

ESL Beginning Level I & II

​Students are introduced to Basic English grammar by beginning with simple structures, which they will continue to develop in ESL Beginning II. In conversation/listening, students will learn simple conversation models, such as greetings, and develop them in sample conversations and role-playing. Listening drills and reading practice are used to help the student develop an ear for English, as well as familiarize themselves with basic structures of expressions. The simple present, present continuous and simple past verb tenses are learned and practiced. They are also introduced to nouns, pronouns and comparative adjectives. In conversation, activities such as role playing, listening exercises and class readings are utilized to practice the grammatical structures learned in their textbooks. The goal is to allow students to engage in English conversation naturally and at a manageable pace.

I'M AN ENGLISH TEACHER SPECIALISING IN ESL. TRY US 1ST.

​Speak English Now is not your typical College or School, Speak English Now was founded in the Sydney CBD in 2006. We were founded by Mr. Richard J Hunt a former Sydney University, Law School Alumni who went on to teach various disciplines since 1971 especially security and other courses in Sydney, Melbourne, Los Angeles, New York City and the Middle East. He gained a prestigious grade in English Lit. in his Oxford English Honors 1 course at the highest level. In 2012 he attended a 6 months refresher course in Advanced Italian at Sydney University. Thus he is fluent in French, Italian , Arabic and his home language, English.

​He resided and worked in Hong Kong from 1980 until 1983 living in Mid Levels on Victoria. Visiting H.K. a total of 27 occasions. He speaks English English not Australian,- English, Italian, French and a smattering of Spanish, German and Arabic.
In 1995-96 he was also an Alumni of New York University [NYU] in Manhattan, NY. USA. Where he studied Film Directing. In fact, the Director of our company is still involved as the administrator having returned to Australia after residing or visiting over 70 countries in 50 years.
We understand what it takes to help you achieve your goals and how hard it can be to find time in your busy schedule. We work with individual students, Fortune 100 Companies, Celebrities, Production companies and foreign government agencies with the same level of commitment to excellence. Our school is the highest rated language school in Sydney – and we have kept that title for over 12 years.
We have global reach, but we are also right next-door to you. Rather than just meeting in a traditional class rooms [ which we do] we also aim to involve you in a free thinking and conversational class, informally.

At Speak English Now you learn the culture and the spoken and written language. This isn’t your average boring college or high school language class. You will learn the slang and hacks that help you to connect to real people.  To Globalize yourself!

Our students will receive a list of books they may purchase online or from bookstores, however we will hand out simple to read and understand fiction books to share and read in class as well as notes and handouts.
Essays will be set but nothing is compulsory. This is an Adult's class. If you wish to just sit there and listen and not participate or are shy, that is your business! We  will leave you alone. Or you can join in. The students should have a small amount of English speech ability to begin with. We urge the weakest of English speakers to solely converse in English at the College.
