I believe the following websites are good for practising English, in particular English conversation:

www.todays-talking-topics.com

www.eslgold.com
www.free-english-study.com
www.freeeslmaterials.com

I'd like to know your opinion about the self-study course in spoken English on www.freeenglishnow.com.
