About Power English

Power English is a free English learning website for people who want to understand and speak English fluently. Since 2010 we have published hundreds of listening and speaking lessons, articles and study tips for learners all over the world.

Our approach: listen first, then speak

We believe the fastest way to speak English is the natural way: by listening to lots of easy, understandable English every day and answering out loud. That is why most of our lessons are built around short stories, real conversations, mp3 audio and video lessons instead of grammar rules and memorization.

  • Listen every day to easy English you can understand.
  • Learn phrases, not single words, so you can use them in real conversations.
  • Repeat and answer out loud with listen-and-answer stories to build speaking confidence.
  • Learn real spoken English – the English native speakers actually use.

Who writes Power English?

Power English is run by the Power English Team. We know how hard it can be to start speaking a new language, so we select, write and organize lessons that make listening and speaking practice easier and more enjoyable. Some lessons feature materials from well-known English teaching programs such as BBC Learning English and Effortless English; we always link to the original creators.
