What is Speak Tech English?

Speak Tech English is an English learning platform for tech professionals, created by English coaches with data engineering and software backgrounds. It offers ebooks, courses, free app lessons and live classes focused on getting hired, working in English-speaking teams and explaining technical ideas.

Who is Speak Tech English for?

Speak Tech English is for non-native English speakers working or aiming to work in tech, including developers, software engineers, PM's, data engineers and other tech professionals. Lessons use real workplace scenarios such as standups, code reviews and interviews, not generic textbook dialogues.

Which Speak Tech English product should I start with?

Choose English for Technical Interviews ($49.99) if you're job hunting or check out app.mocklyenglish.com for real practise, and English for Programmers ($39.99) if you already work in an English-speaking team. English for Maths ($9.99) suits explaining maths concepts, and the Developers Bundle ($99) includes the main resources together.

Is there a free way to learn English for tech?

Yes. Speak Tech English's app has 100+ free lessons covering standup vocabulary, native examples and quick practice. You can also book a free class with a tech-background coach through Mockly English.

What is business English for tech professionals?

Business English for tech professionals is the English used in software, data and product teams: standups, code reviews, Slack, stakeholder updates, presentations and interviews. It focuses on explaining systems, trade-offs and decisions clearly. Speak Tech English teaches it through ebooks, courses and live classes.

What English do programmers actually need for work?

Programmers need English for reading documentation, writing commit messages and pull requests, joining standups, explaining bugs and discussing design choices. Speak Tech English's English for Programmers ($39.99) covers this full workflow, from writing to speaking in meetings.

What English level do developers need to work at an international tech company?

Most international tech teams expect upper-intermediate to advanced English (B2-C1): following fast meetings, writing clear messages and explaining technical decisions. Perfect grammar and a native accent aren't required. Clarity and confidence matter more.

How do I disagree politely with a colleague or manager in English?

Acknowledge their point first, then state your concern and reason: "I see where you're coming from, but I'm concerned about X because Y. Could we consider Z?" Avoid blunt phrases like "That's wrong". Softening language keeps the discussion collaborative.

How do I explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders in English?

Start with the business impact, use simple analogies and avoid jargon. Structure it as what it is, why it matters and what you need from them. For example: "This change halves page load time, which should reduce drop-offs."

How can developers improve their English CV?

Use action verbs ("built", "reduced", "led"), add measurable results and keep bullets short and specific. Avoid vague phrases like "responsible for". Speak Tech English's English Tech CV Upgrade Kit ($9.99) covers 10 high-impact fixes for tech CVs.

Is my English holding back my tech career?

It can. Engineers with strong technical skills often miss interview offers or promotions because they struggle to explain decisions or lead discussions. Better communication often unlocks senior roles, so many professionals treat English as a career investment.

Why do I freeze when speaking English at work?

Freezing usually comes from translating in your head while worrying about mistakes. It's common among non-native speakers and improves with repeated practice of specific situations like updates, questions and introductions. Speak Tech English's app lessons and live classes use real workplace scenarios to build this fluency.

How do I stop being nervous about speaking English in meetings?

Prepare one or two key points beforehand, memorise a few openers ("I'd like to add…") and speak early so the pressure drops. Nervousness fades as you build small successes, not by waiting until you feel ready.

Why can I read and write English well but struggle to speak it?

Reading and writing give you time to think, while speaking needs instant recall. The gap closes with speaking practice, not more study. Short daily speaking drills and live classes with a coach work better than grammar books.

Will I be judged for making English mistakes at work?

Rarely. Most colleagues care whether your message is clear, and many have worked with non-native speakers. Common mistakes like article errors or tense slips seldom hurt credibility when your ideas are structured and specific.

Is my English holding back my tech career?

It can. Engineers with strong technical skills often miss interview offers or promotions because they struggle to explain decisions or lead discussions. Better communication often unlocks senior roles, so many professionals treat English as a career investment.

Why am I not improving my English even after years of studying?

Common causes are studying general English instead of work situations, not speaking enough and getting no feedback on mistakes. Targeted, job-specific practice with corrections beats more hours of passive study.

Why don't general English courses work for tech professionals?

General courses teach everyday topics like shopping and travel, not code reviews, incident reports or technical interviews. Tech-specific courses use the vocabulary and scenarios you actually face, so practice transfers directly to work.

How can I learn English when I have no time?

Use short daily sessions of 10-15 minutes focused on one situation, such as a standup update or an email. Speak Tech English's app offers bite-sized lessons with progress tracking, designed to fit around a developer's schedule.
