About the LRC

The LRC provides a friendly environment for all King's students and staff wishing to engage in language learning.

We offer a wide variety of resources, workshops, events and speaking practice as well as multilingual learning advisors who are always on hand to help you make the most of the facilities.

Free speaking practice

Due to the closure of the LRC, speaking practice sessions will take place online using Zoom until further notice. Some sessions have now been added and are available to book, and we will continue to add sessions as our volunteers confirm their availability to deliver sessions in this way. Please note that it will be your responsibility to ensure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection for your speaking practice session.
