Last updated November 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,351 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Charlie's course is built for learners at roughly A2 to B2 who want to speak more confidently about everyday life. Each of the 18 sections takes one topic, such as introducing yourself, jobs, restaurants or festivals. Students hear a model talk, do listening and vocabulary tasks, then create and upload a short talk of their own. It runs about 7 hours across 121 lectures, and the description lists role plays with AI avatars and downloadable worksheets.

Reviewers like how simple and well organized it is. Several describe the teaching as easy to follow, and one likes that the activities and assignments let them check their own level. The complaints are practical. One reviewer wanted more pronunciation classes. Another, writing in Italian, called it basic but useful, and said nobody checks the work and there is no feedback from the teacher or other students. An older review mentions broken links.

With 15,076 students and a 4.6 average from 2,351 ratings, it has held up well since 2017, and the last update was in November 2025. Of those ratings, 1,165 are five stars and only about 100 are one or two stars. It is a steady way to build speaking habits. Think of it as guided practice, not a replacement for a live partner or tutor, and expect light pronunciation work.

Best forPre-intermediate learners who understand English but freeze when they have to speak about everyday topics.
Skip it ifYou want live feedback on your speech or serious pronunciation training.

Pros

  • Each topic follows one routine: model talk, listening, vocabulary, then your own short talk
  • Reviewers call the teaching simple to follow and the course well organized
  • Online activities and assignments let learners check their own level, one reviewer says
  • Updated in November 2025, with 121 lectures on everyday topics from jobs to festivals

Cons

  • One reviewer found no teacher feedback and no interaction with other learners
  • One reviewer asks for more pronunciation classes than the course offers
  • Many sections are short, and an older review mentions broken links
The course was a good experience and is well organized. I really enjoyed it.
Igor Chinchay Farroñay, a student

Fits A2 to B2 learners; the requirements ask for pre-intermediate (A2) English, so true beginners may struggle.
