Frequently Asked Questions
If you are considering joining Use it Virtual, you probably have a few questions about how everything works and what you can expect. That is a great sign, because it means you are serious about finally using English or Spanish in real-life conversations.
Below, we have answered some of the most common questions we receive so you can feel confident taking the next step and use it!
We are an online platform that offers live English and Spanish conversation clubs designed for adults who want to move from studying a language to actually speaking it. Instead of focusing on grammar-heavy lessons, we focus on real conversation practice in a supportive, structured environment. Our goal is simple. We help you use the language in real life with confidence.
Our programs are best suited for intermediate to advanced learners who already have a foundation in English or Spanish but struggle to speak fluently. Many of our members understand the language well, but feel stuck when it comes to expressing themselves in real conversations. If you have ever felt like you know more than you can say, you will fit right in here.
Each conversation club meets twice per week on Zoom. Sessions are held in small groups, which gives everyone the opportunity to actively participate and speak.
Every session includes:
- Guided discussion topics based on real-life situations
- A professor who keeps the conversation flowing
- Personalized feedback from the professor
This structure helps you stay engaged and continuously improve your speaking skills.
Yes, absolutely. Our sessions are designed to maximize your speaking time. Because we keep groups small and guided, you will not be sitting silently or just listening. You will be actively participating, sharing your thoughts, and interacting with others. The more you speak, the faster your confidence grows.
This is one of the most common concerns, and it is completely normal. We have created a safe, no-pressure environment where mistakes are part of the learning process.
You will be surrounded by other motivated adults who are going through the same experience. There is no judgment here, only support and encouragement.
Yes, we offer opportunities to practice both English and Spanish. Whether you are learning English as a Spanish speaker or improving your Spanish as a second language, you will find a welcoming and supportive environment.
We also provide helpful guidance and explanations to make communication easier and more natural.
Apps often focus on passive learning like reading and listening, which does not fully prepare you for real conversations. Private tutors can be helpful, but they can also feel intense, isolated, or limited in interaction.
We offer a balanced approach:
- Live, guided group conversations
- A community of like-minded learners
- Consistent, real speaking practice
- Structured sessions without feeling rigid
- The best place and the best way to use it!
This combination helps you build confidence in a more natural and engaging way.
We offer several membership tiers so you can choose the level of practice that fits your goals and schedule. Options range from access to one conversation club to full access with multiple clubs and private coaching sessions.
Higher-tier memberships include additional benefits such as:
- More conversation groups per week
- Access to workshops and resources
- Private one-on-one coaching sessions
- Priority access to special programs, communities and events
This flexibility allows you to grow at your own pace.
Yes, you can adjust your membership as your goals evolve. Many of our members start with a lower tier and upgrade as they become more comfortable and want more practice.
We make it easy to find the right balance for your needs.
Yes. A placement exam is required for all memberships to determine your English level and place you in the right conversation groups. You should have at least a B1 (Intermediate) level, meaning you can hold basic conversations, understand everyday topics, and express your ideas with confidence.
The placement exam fee is $15 and will be credited toward your first payment.

A B1 (Intermediate) English level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), means you can hold everyday conversations, understand common topics, and express your ideas with some confidence. You may still make mistakes, but you can communicate clearly in real-life situations.
We understand that schedules can change or unexpected events may happen. That is why our memberships include access to session recordings. You can revisit the material, review vocabulary, and stay connected even if you cannot attend live.
Our program is designed with flexibility in mind. You can join from anywhere in the world, choose sessions that fit your schedule, be part of our different communities, and clubs.
This allows you to stay consistent without feeling locked into something that does not work for you.
Our annual conference, Use it Conversation Bootcamp, will be held once a year in Orlando, Florida.
With consistent participation, most members experience noticeable improvements in their confidence and fluency. You will begin to speak more naturally, respond more quickly, and feel more comfortable in real conversations.
The key is showing up regularly, actively engaging in each session and use it!
Getting started is simple. First, you complete the placement exam so we can determine your level. Then, you choose the membership that fits your goals and schedule.
From there, you can begin joining conversation clubs, meeting other learners, and practicing right away.
