Learn English for Free
Teaching God’s Word Around the World by Teaching the English Language
World English Institute has one mission with one purpose. WEI works to lead as many people as possible from every nation under heaven to Christ by using God’s Word as the text to teach English grammar.
The English language is universal. Billions want to learn it. WEI teaches English free of charge in order to help them communicate effectively and read the Bible in English, many for the first time.
They need most of all salvation and a relationship with Jesus Christ. WEI has designed this unique teaching tool to reach as easily into dark places of the world, like the world of Islam, as it does the non-English-speaking communities of America.
Every day, hundreds of precious souls log into WEI to study one lesson in English grammar and one lesson in the Bible. They thrill at being able to learn English, but they are amazed when they learn about God and his plan of redemption.
WEI’s Teaching Website Makes it Easy
Using your computer/tablet/cell phone, your Internet connection, and WEI’s teaching website, you can teach the Good News to people in all of the world’s 203 nations.
Approximately 10000 people visit the WEI teaching website each month to study the English language because it is free. Each month over 3500 of these people register and return the introductory lesson and need to be claimed by a teacher. WEI uses lessons from the Bible to illustrate the accompanying lesson on English grammar.
The website provides recordings of the Bible lesson so students can learn to hear and speak English as they read. While they learn to hear and speak, the Word is being planted deep within their memories.

Hồ Xuân Phong
Dear my brothers and sisters in the Lord. My name is Hồ Xuân Phong. I am Vietnamese. I thank God for what you have been doing. I have been learning English for 5 years. I know that English is very important to my study of theology and something else. This course is very good for me. I couldn’t imagine that there’s something good like this. I can study English and the Bible at the same time. I understand that you have put a lot of effort into it.
My God bless you. Thank you so much.
With the love of the Lord.
Dr. Sreepati Das
Dear entire team of WEI,
I have downloaded your certificate for the Supplemental: Evidences Course. Although your courses are mainly on the English language, their subject matter was very essential for religious morality and human education. Lester Hopwood, fixed for me as a teacher, is indeed a great religious and moral one. All of the lessons given to me were rich in discussions on how the Christian religious tradition and ideas are providing the knowledge and leadership to face the major challenges facing humanity today. I pray to the God who in His glory holds the whole world irrespective of race and caste, distributes everything, and observes its all creatures with infinite compassion, may He spread and progress your excellence of service, love to God, and love of humanity.
Shako Loseke Jérôme
I would like to express my warmest gratitude to you for the adequate training you offered me.
Completing the World English Institute study is a dream come true to me; though, it was not easy to get through the different courses within a period of time. I had no time to slack off. Sometimes, I had to burn the midnight oil in order to get through the lessons.
Today, my heart is overjoyed to have a new diploma from you.
Thank you very much dear Christians.
Long-life to the founder of this school.
May God bless you all!
Jérôme Loseke
Message: Hello WEI First of all I’m grateful to God almighty for this opportunity I have to find you (WEI) and learn a few things about you. You’re doing a great job. I’m JÉRÔME LOSEKE a Christian living in DRC. I’ve got a deep need of improving my English and chiefly having an international diploma in English. But my happiness is wide in scope and depth to know that you’re a bunch of Christians working as volunteers just in order to help others. May God bless you abundantly and richly until there will be no room for you to store the blessings from God. I can’t wait longer to have a teacher who will dedicate his time and energy for my goodness. I’ll do the same to others, if I’ll stand that opportunity. Receive Christian greetings from your brother JÉRÔME LOSEKE.
God bless you!
From Venant Habimana, a Student in Burundi
Good morning my World English Institute President.
How lucky am I to have a brother in Christ like you? You have a kind heart and a good spirit, you can see the best in others, and it inspires them to see their potential too. You did not reject my request through my Special and heroine teacher Marlene Baker my gift from God through World English Institute. I could not help but smile and reflect on the many blessings that I have been afforded.
It would not have been possible for me to accomplish all my courses without my ideal teacher Marlene Baker encouragement. I saw the fruit of the Holy Spirit in her and made me to become a Christian and English speaker. Finally, I could not afford this scholarship without your help. When I saw your free scholarship I said Glory be to God, because I knew that my dream will come true. I was one of the people who don’t believe in the Bible because of a lack of knowledge, but after knowing the reality from scriptures and many evidences from witnesses of Jesus, I truly believe in Jesus Christ as my savior and live by faith.
Thanks a million to you and my teacher Marlene Baker who sacrificed herself in order to make me succeed.
Testimony from a student in South Sudan
I would like to take this cheerful opportunity to congratulate the World English Institute for the trust boosted upon me to have this great opportunity and having earned this great certificate.
