Let’s Start Talking has been powerfully connecting people around the world through one-on-one English conversation practice since 1980. LST’s unique approach is an organic way to offer people something they genuinely want – a friend who will help them practice their conversational English – as well as something they need – God’s word. LST equips volunteers and churches with the training and materials to connect with their international neighbors through English, friendship, and the Word of God.

LST’s unique approach utilizes a one-to-one structure that allows the “Reader” to build on the English skills they already have. The LST workbooks bring Biblical stories to life and foster conversations about different perspectives, everyday life topics, and faith experiences. We believe that a friendly relationship and the exchange of personal insights is key to developing stronger language skills. LST is recognized world-wide as innovators of a unique approach to language learning, the results of which are heart-felt conversations about faith, love, and the source of abundant life.
