ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE FOR SPEAKERS OF Indian LanguageS & Indian English

ACTIVELY IMPROVE YOUR SPOKEN ENGLISH 

TIME TO GET ACTIVE  

Once our Indian clients start our training – it’s often a huge relief – they finally understand exactly WHY listeners found it challenging to understand them and WHAT needs to be done.  

Many of our Indian clients don’t anticipate that clarity in English will be a problem for them, but after arriving in an English speaking country and looking for work or starting work – they find that listeners sometimes struggle to understand them. Often this is a bit of a shock and many of them find it frustrating and exhausting.

The reason for this is that there are many difference between Indian English and other styles of English that make it challenging for people to understand easily. These differences can cause unclear communication, which can result in unsuccessful job interviews, missed promotions or a low speaking score on English proficiency tests.  

If you’re lacking confidence with your English pronunciation and speaking English – it’s time to be proactive.

The GREAT news is that for most speakers from India, only 4 – 5 areas need to be changed to dramatically improve how easily others understand their English. 

Life is very busy! Finding time to work on your English Pronunciation and fluency can be challenging. Our English Pronunciation practice for Indian speakers is created specifically for busy professionals so you can dip in and out around your busy schedule. This course gives you the structure you need to get ‘speech-active’ every day – in other words, to be ACTIVELY improving your pronunciation and English accent for 15 minutes daily.

PERFORM YOUR BEST WITH CLEARER ENGLISH

As mentioned, there are only a small number of areas that most speakers from India should improve for clear English that listeners will understand easily.

A few of the main areas are often:

– word stress and emphasis – this is ESSENTIAL for clear English and the stress and rhythms used in Indian languages and Indian English are very different to other types of English. Indian English is spoken in a much flatter, more even rhythm – this is why many speakers from India feel that their English is a little monotonous. 
– English vowel sounds. Indian English does not use some double (diphthong) vowels like other types of English. So double vowels and are often mispronounced by speakers of Indian English and Indian languages. For example differentiating between the words – not, nought, note – or – cot, caught, coat is often challenging for people from India. 
– speed of speaking. English is often spoken very quickly in India and so are many Indian languages. Using this fast rate in other English speaking countries really makes it challenging for listeners – the fast rate combined with flat, even stress and rhythm makes it challenging for your listener. 

You’ll practice to improve these areas and many more with audio files and videos – the more you practice, the more you will improve. We’ll get you systematically improving the areas that you – as a speaker of Indian English and Indian languages – need to change and improve and most importantly, give you the practice you need to transfer these new skills to your everyday life.

CONFIDENCE IS KEY

We’re very proud of the feedback we get from our Indian students reporting greater speaking confidence. For example, Gujarati and Hindi speakers Rahul P who uses English everyday in his work as a financial professional told us in his course feedback “I am a financial professional and require continuous interaction and mostly making presentations. The awareness and knowledge about the way I speak, particularly the syllable stress and sentence stress and some specific word groups have made me more confident as I speak and feel more acceptance by the people I interact with. Besides, I now understand and grasp better and quicker when I listen to the native speakers in professional circles. Both the above are crucial for my professional success.“
