Our verdict

This app gives English learners a lot of listening and speaking drills for free or for one small purchase. Learners who want a structured course or live conversation practice should choose another app.

What English Conversation Practice is

English Conversation Practice is a large library of short English dialogues grouped by topic and level. You can read the transcript, play a role, record yourself and take a quiz. The description also lists short stories, phrasal verbs, IELTS vocabulary, an idioms dictionary, pronunciation checks with voice recognition, and lessons from BBC Learning English and VOA Learning English.
