HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH WITH THE ENGIN PROGRAM
Imagine: every week, you have a real-life conversation in English with a dedicated volunteer.
After just three months of regular meetings, you overcome the language barrier and significantly improve your English skills.
But that’s not even the best part. With every conversation, you build meaningful friendships, develop communication skills, learn about new cultures, and share Ukrainian culture with the world
With ENGin, you’re not just learning English — you’re growing as a person.
Over 26,000 Ukrainians have already had this life-changing experience.
