What is the benefit of learning English?
English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and has acquired the status of being the language of international communication. It is the most likely common factor between two people from opposite sides of the world who have nothing in common with each other and yet must interact, for business or otherwise. It is the language of business communication and in a globalized world where business alliances are formed across countries between people of different cultural and language backgrounds, it is a necessity. On a more general level, it is the most ‘alive’ language of the 21st century and is essential to get any first hand account of the growth of ideas and human potential.

What is so special about learning it from inlingua?
The “inlingua Method” of teaching is very different from the conventional method. In the conventional method the stress is on explaining the things and the teacher ends up doing most of the talking but we at inlingua are very well aware of the fact that a language can be learnt only by speaking, language is not math or history where one can memorize formulae and dates. Our objective is to make the students speak and that’s how they learn.

Do you teach reading and writing in Level 1A where the student is not even familiar with the
   script? If not, why not?
inlingua teaches you to speak the target language and ‘say it right’. Our entire methodology focuses only on speaking. We believe that when student begins to speak English well he/she gets confidence and begins to read, write and pursue higher training towards mastery of the language.

What benefits can one gain after doing a particular level, say 2B?
Each Level has its own benefits. For example, after doing a 2B you would have a limited command of English in familiar situations, like, recognize basic formal and informal language, confirm and change travel plans, understand and give simple instructions, suggest and recommend, complain and apologize, etc.

What are the job-prospects after doing a course?
One of the major reasons for not clearing interviews and Group Discussions is a lack of confidence because of poor communication skills in English. This is taken care of during a course at inlingua as a student overcomes his hesitation of talking in English. Since he / she is made to talk a lot and the only way to tackle your fear is to take it head on.

What is the right Level for a Call Center job?
The Level of English required for a call Center job is usually Level 3 and above. However, the exact Level of English required varies from one call Center to another.

What is the Level of English required for clearing IELTS/TOEFL exams? How does inlingua
   help me in attaining the same? What are the dates for the IELTS exams?
