English Cafe


INTRODUCTION


SPEAK UP is a place where people of different backgrounds can get together, come and practice English with others, while enjoying a cup of drink. We welcome everyone even those who are not confident with talking in English. The most important thing is to try to talk and listen in English. Our staffs are kind and friendly and will help you have fun conversations as well as improve your English. We are looking forward meeting you at SPEAK UP.

SPEAK UP is similar to normal cafes, except that you talk and everyone shares the same table. Only English is used for the conversation. Even in the conversations among Vietnamese, the English language is used. People from all over the city get together at SPEAK UP. The SPEAK UP staff is also English Speakers. Let's improve our English in an enjoyable and educational atmosphere together.

A special feature of the SPEAK UP is that the English Cafe and English school have been combined. Of course you can choose to only use the cafe, but we also have very affordable English environment on the second floor. At SPEAK UP, we are planning to have several different levels of English groups everyday. We believe learning English in lessons and then using English in free conversation at SPEAK UP will be very effective for improving your English. Importantly SPEAK UP's drink fee is also very cheap compared to the others.
