Should I take Intermediate or Basic Spoken English?
One test: can you finish a simple sentence out loud — “I work in a bank and I live in Pune”? If yes, and the problem is wrong tenses, broken flow and fillers, take Intermediate Spoken English (4 months, ₹1,999/month). If you cannot finish that sentence yet, start with Basic Spoken English (₹999/month). The free consultation decides it in one conversation.
How is Intermediate different from Interactive Speaking?
Intermediate keeps a 30-minute grammar block in every class and covers all four skills — speaking, writing, active listening and reading. Interactive Speaking (3 months, ₹1,599/month) has no grammar block: it is 90 minutes of speaking reps for people whose grammar is fine and who freeze anyway.
What happens in one class?
90 minutes, live, about 6 learners. The first 30 minutes are grammar — one structure, used in a sentence. The next hour is communication: timed turns, role-plays, listening tasks, discussion and short writing, using what you just learned.
Is the class taught in Hindi?
Intermediate is English to English — teaching and practice in English, because at this level hearing English is part of the training. If a concept truly stalls, the teacher can bridge briefly in Hindi or Bengali, then you go back to English.
Can I extend the course?
Yes. The course is extendable. If a phase needs more time, say so on WhatsApp and we confirm the extension and the fee in writing before you pay.
What if I miss a class?
Every class is recorded and shared. A reschedule can be requested only within the same week and depends on teacher and slot availability.
What is the fee for an intermediate spoken English course in India?
Learn With Smile charges ₹1,999 per month for Intermediate Spoken English — 4 months, up to 2 live classes a week, approximately 6 learners per batch, inclusive of taxes. Level-based intermediate courses from other Indian providers were listed at roughly ₹4,500–₹7,000 a month for 1:1 formats in October 2026; check each provider's current page.
What does an intermediate English course cover?
Here: months 1–2 fix the grammar under your sentences (all 8 parts of speech, tenses, articles, subject-verb agreement, Wh- and Yes/No questions) and train sounds, 60–90 second timed turns and filler-free speech. Month 3 adds connectors, modals, negotiation and real listening — podcasts, news clips, simplified TED-style talks. Month 4 is conditionals, debates, polite disagreement, 2–3 minute presentations with Q&A, role-play and storytelling. Vocabulary runs throughout: news, work, idioms, collocations, phrasal verbs.
Is 4 months enough to go from basic to fluent English?
Four months moves someone who can already make simple sentences to longer, connected and more accurate speech — a 2–3 minute talk, a debate, a polite disagreement. It does not produce native-like English. Results depend on attending, the daily recordings and shadow speaking between classes. The course is extendable if a phase needs longer.
What daily practice comes with Intermediate Spoken English?
Bolo, the Learn With Smile practice app, at Intermediate level: connectors, conditionals, listening clip, 90-second talk with a daily streak; short video lessons such as Connectors that link your ideas; Conditionals in real talk; Cut the fillers: um, ah, like; Disagree politely in a debate; and a weekly teacher review of the reading and speaking you send (this level focuses on fillers). It is included in the course fee — live classes in a small batch, the Bolo daily-practice app, video lessons, a weekly teacher review and the same teacher — all in one monthly fee from ₹999, taught in English, Hindi or Marathi.
How do I pay for Intermediate Spoken English — monthly, or upfront? Is there a refund?
Learn With Smile bills one month at a time: no auto-debit, no loans or EMIs, and never 3, 6 or 12 months upfront. Cancel a month before its first live class for a full refund, which we start within 2 working days.
What do learners outside India pay?
Two published price lists. Learners in India, Indian Rupees, inclusive of taxes: Basic Spoken English ₹999/month; Intermediate Spoken English ₹1,999/month; Interactive Speaking ₹1,599/month; Business English ₹2,499/month; Interview Preparation ₹2,499/month; Demo Class ₹199. Learners outside India, USD: Basic Spoken English $49/mo; Intermediate Spoken English $89/mo; Interactive Speaking $79/mo; Business English $99/mo; Interview Preparation $99/mo; Demo Class $10. The India list applies to learners in India and the outside-India list applies to learners elsewhere. They are two separate price lists, not currency conversions of each other.
