conversation class

Oral practice session

A conversation class is a language-learning session focused on speaking practice rather than grammar drills or textbook exercises.

Students talk with each other or a native speaker to build fluency and confidence: I'm taking a conversation class to improve my Spanish before the trip.

The format emphasizes natural dialogue over formal instruction.
