About Talk English
Funded by the
Department of
Communities and Local
Government (DCLG),
Talk English aims to
improve the language
skills of people with little
or no English.
‘Speaking English is crucial to allow us to come together and be part of British society.’
The Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP, DCLG, 2013
‘People are unable to do this and are condemned to a limited life if they can’t speak our language.’
