Speaking is the best way to communicate with other people. As the world is becoming more and more like a global village, individuals often need to interact with foreigners for various reasons, such as business, studies, online games, interviews, and social interactions. However, many of us are not accustomed to speaking. Either we feel shy or face difficulties in learning another language, especially English (the international language).

One of the best solutions to overcome speaking problems is to engage in conversations with others. Unfortunately, our relatives, friends, or neighbors may not always have the time to practice with us. As an alternative, people are turning to online platforms to enhance their speaking skills. Free4Talk is at the forefront, offering an environment to help you achieve improvement in this regard. Click here to join the platform.

4. Tips Related Free4Talk

  • Try to get verified as early as possible, as verified members can access restricted features. Moreover, other veteran members on this platform may be more comfortable engaging in conversations with verified members. The quickest way to get verified is by requesting verification from other verified members after having conversations with them for some time.

N.B. Unverified members can’t follow other unverified members.

  • As people from every corner of the world join this platform, you may encounter unfortunate situations with rude individuals. My advice is to avoid them, and if you’re in a group, consider leaving it (if you are the owner, you can kick out misbehaving members from the group) and join another group instead.
  • Speaking of the kick-out option, be aware that you may also be removed, especially if you are unverified. Don’t be demotivated; instead, try to join groups that allow more than two members, providing a better chance for a positive and engaging experience.
  • Lastly, regularly join different groups and interact with people from diverse backgrounds, customs, ethnicities, and accents. I bet your experience will be worthwhile!
