Spoken English

  The single biggest barrier for adult learners here, and it is addressed directly.

  Understanding at natural speed.

Only the parts that matter when speaking.

  Not conjugation tables - choosing the right one while talking.
• Questions and negatives hands on
  Formed correctly at speed.
• Articles and prepositions
  The two areas Urdu speakers most often carry over.

  Recorded, reviewed, and improved without embarrassment.

Fewer words, better used.

  The words that carry most conversation.
• Phrasal verbs and collocations hands on
  Sounding natural rather than translated.
• Describing, explaining, comparing hands on
  The functions everyday speech is made of.

  Spaced practice, and using a word within a day.

At work, and on a call.

  Interrupting politely, asking for repetition, confirming understanding.

Speaking to more than one person.
