Want to feel more comfortable speaking English in everyday life? Jookender Community Initiatives invites adults to join our Conversational ESL Classes, a friendly online program designed to help English learners practice real-life conversation, build confidence, improve communication skills, and meet new people.
Classes are taught by Ekaterina Maksimova, Certified ESL Teacher, and focus on practical English that participants can actually use - at work, in stores and restaurants, while talking with neighbors, making appointments, meeting new people, and navigating everyday life in the United States.
These are conversation-focused ESL classes, not traditional grammar lectures. Participants will have opportunities to speak, listen, ask questions, expand their vocabulary, and become more comfortable communicating in English in a supportive group setting.
The Fall 2026 session includes eight Monday evening classes on Zoom at 8:00 PM Eastern Time:
October 19 and 26
November 2, 9, and 16
December 7, 14, and 21
The program is free and open to everyone, with a $50 registration fee. The registration fee is waived for Club Chaverim members.
Classes are held online via Zoom, making the program accessible to participants throughout Massachusetts, Greater Boston, and beyond. The Zoom link will be provided to registered participants closer to the beginning of the program.
Whether you recently arrived in the United States, have studied English for years but still hesitate to speak, or simply want more opportunities to practice conversational English, you are welcome to join us.
Practice English. Meet new people. Build confidence. And make English a little more comfortable every week.
