You’ve studied English. You put in the work.
But when you stop using it every day, your fluency starts to fade — and suddenly you’re not communicating the way you always dreamed.

Yak English brings that confidence back through conversation-based learning and real-world speaking practice.
Our small online groups help you speak naturally, think faster, and stay fluent for the moments that matter most.

Yak:

1. to talk, chatter, or have a long conversation (verb)

      2. a type of cattle with long hair and horns, mainly found in Tibet (noun)

“I studied English from elementary to high school in South Korea, but my level stayed at A1. I have ADHD, so it’s hard for me to concentrate for long periods. But strangely enough, when I’m in your classes, I can always focus 100%. Even though you don’t explain things in Korean, I can still understand perfectly – my English has improved a lot because of that.”
