With globalization, it has become increasingly important to be able to speak English, the international language of business. Because of this Speak2buddy.org aims to help everybody speak English more fluently and therefore become more competitive in today's global business world.
In language education, the teaching of speaking skills is often neglected. Many students or business people, even after taking many English courses, cannot speak English fluently. Speak2buddy is an innovative business model that helps Turkish business people and students (of all ages) improve their spoken English through online conversation sessions. In our model anyone who wants to practise speaking English with native English speakers can enrol online easily on our user friendly website. They can choose their conversation topics, days and times and then start talking to one of our language buddies via Skype. The model is flexible, effective, personalised and cost effective.
Speak2buddy is operated by KFD Investment Consultancy Ltd which is a member of the Turkish - British Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TBCCI)**
