Hooked on English

04/24/2026

Does your child understand English… but stay quiet when it’s time to speak?

I run small, friendly speaking classes where students talk about real-world topics and build confidence step by step.

I’m opening a few free trial spots this week and next week.

Comment INFO and I’ll send details

Hi all. Just a reminder that April is ‘book a free trial’ month for International FreeTalk News (for ESL students aged 10 to 14). Check it out here.

Hooked on English is an edutainment website for children and adults. Here we teach students and train teachers using creativity and fun.

The topic is International FreeTalk News for Pre-Teens and Early Teens who understand English but need to use it more naturally. With almost 30 years experience teaching children including 7 years online, I help students become confident, happy speakers — not just good test-takers. Here are the time slots for 4, 11, 18 and 25 April 2026:

If your child could gain ONE skill in English this year, what would you choose?

Speaking confidently
Understanding native speakers
Thinking in English
Expressing opinions clearly

Only one.

Which would you pick?

My student talking about house rules.
In 10 years, what will matter more for children:

✔ Perfect grammar
✔ Or the ability to think, discuss, and express ideas in English?

Which one do you believe will give the advantage?

What motivates your child more when learning English?

A) Games and fun
B) Structured lessons
C) Real conversations
D) Something else

I’m curious what works best for different families

Should children be corrected every time they make a mistake in English or should they be allowed to speak freely first and improve gradually?

Which approach do you think builds more confidence?

A fun little conversation from class today 😄

We somehow ended up talking about detention… and I have to say, the dry humour of my student made me laugh.

These are the moments where English stops being a subject… and starts becoming natural.
