Do you cover job interviews?
Yes. In this Spoken English room you practise the 90-second introduction, HR-style questions and STAR answers live in the batch of about 6. If you already speak and the interview is the only freeze, take Interview Preparation — 2 months, ₹2,499/month.
I can barely speak. Will this work for me?
Yes — this is exactly who the course is for. We start from absolute basics and build up step by step in a judgment-free batch.
What's the batch size?
Approximately 6 learners join each batch, so everyone gets real speaking time.
How do I start?
Chat on WhatsApp. We’ll help you pick a course.
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 a basic spoken English course in India?
Learn With Smile charges ₹999 per month for Basic Spoken English — 6 months, up to 2 live classes per week, approximately 6 learners per batch, inclusive of taxes. Comparable live group courses in India generally run ₹800–₹3,000 per month; recorded-video-only courses cost less but give you no live speaking practice, and 1:1 native-tutor platforms cost considerably more per hour. Our fee includes the live classes and Bolo, our practice app — daily practice with a streak, video lessons and a weekly teacher review.
How long does it take to learn spoken English from zero?
Around 6 months of consistent live practice to reach comfortable everyday conversation — introducing yourself, shopping, phone calls, travel, small talk and basic group discussion. That assumes up to 2 classes a week plus 10–15 minutes of daily practice. Reaching professional or exam-level fluency typically takes another 3–6 months on top.
I feel embarrassed about my English. Will I be judged in class?
The batch usually has around 6 learners and every person in it is at the same starting point — that is the entire design. There is no ranking, no public scoring and no one is put on the spot cold. Errors are corrected as they happen because that is how correction works, but it is done to the group as a pattern rather than aimed at a person.
What daily practice comes with Basic Spoken English?
Bolo, the Learn With Smile practice app, at Basic level: vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking with a daily streak; short video lessons such as Tips and tricks to start speaking; Grammar you actually use; When your mind goes blank; Stop translating in your head; and a weekly teacher review of the reading and speaking you send (this level focuses on sound). 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 Basic 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.
