Online Meetings Worldwide - Where You Can Gain Confidence and Practise Speeches and Presentations

Go to toastmasters international's website and you can find Toastmasters International clubs all over the world. The speakers' training movement started in the USA, eventually spreading to England, Europe, Asia and all over the world. Most of the clubs are in English  but the literature has been translated in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish and other languages. You can join foreign language multi-lingual clubs and bilingual clubs and give speeches in your other language in Spanish, French, Malay, Tamil and many more languages.

I used to give workshops all over the world, in the UK, USA and China. Now, in 2020 because of COVD-19 the in-person meetings are just fond memories. I was speaker, project evaluator, contest timer, judge. In Singapore I was out every day, sometimes twice a day, six or seven days a week.



Now everybody is going online.
Now that meetings are forced to go online, the opportunities are expanding daily.Here are just a few of your options.

Saturdays
