You passed English at SSC and HSC. You read English documentation at work every day. Then a client says can you walk me through this, and everything you know goes quiet.

That gap is not a knowledge problem, and twelve more years of grammar rules will not close it. It closes with hours of supervised speaking, which is the entire design of this course.

What this course actually is

Roughly 80 percent of class time is you talking. The instructor sets a situation, you speak, and you get corrected on the two or three things that are costing you clarity rather than on every error, because being corrected on every error teaches people to stop speaking.

The format is built so that everybody speaks in every session and nobody hides at the back. Most of the hour runs as pair work and role play in breakout rooms with the instructor moving between them, which is what keeps your own talking time high no matter how many people have joined.

What we work on

The situations are the ones that actually happen in a Bangladeshi professional week:

• The stand-up update, said out loud, in 45 seconds, without reading it

• The client call where you did not catch what was said and have to ask again

• The meeting where you disagree with your manager and need to say so carefully

• The presentation with four slides and a question you did not expect

• The interview where the answer is right but comes out in three words

• The small talk before all of the above, which is where most people freeze first

Each situation is practised, recorded, played back and repeated the following week. Hearing your own recording is the single most effective and least comfortable part of the course.

Twelve weeks, one skill at a time

Two live sessions a week, Sunday and Wednesday, 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, timed for people who finish work at eight.

1. Weeks 1 to 2: self-introduction, small talk, and a baseline recording that we keep.

2. Weeks 3 to 4: telephone and video calls, clarification and confirmation language.

3. Weeks 5 to 6: meetings, agreeing, disagreeing, interrupting and summarising.

4. Weeks 7 to 8: presenting, describing data, and handling questions.

5. Weeks 9 to 10: client and negotiation conversations, hedging and polite refusal.

6. Weeks 11 to 12: interviews, mock panels, and the final recording compared against week one.

Between sessions there is one short assignment, usually a two-minute voice recording on a set topic, returned with three specific notes. It takes fifteen minutes and it is the thing that separates people who improve from people who attend.

Pronunciation, honestly

The goal is being understood on the first attempt, not sounding foreign. We work on the specific sounds and patterns that cause Bangla speakers to be misheard: v against w, s against sh, final consonant clusters, and word stress landing on the wrong syllable.

Nobody here will tell you your accent is a problem. Indian, Bangladeshi and Nigerian colleagues run global teams in their own accents every day. Clarity is coachable and worth coaching; an accent is not a defect to be removed.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits the software engineer who writes flawless English in Slack and dreads the standup, the buying-house executive on daily calls with overseas buyers, the freelancer losing Upwork interviews at the video stage, and the final-year student three months from a first job interview.

It does not suit anyone hoping to listen quietly and absorb it. If you will not speak in the first session, the fee is wasted, and it is fairer to say that here than to take it.

I have been writing English professionally for six years and still could not get through a client call without switching to Bangla. By week nine I ran a forty-minute requirement call on my own. The recordings were the proof.

Timing and fee

The course opens on 15 February 2026 and the twelve weeks run to early May. Access is a quarterly subscription of ৳3,800, held down from the regular ৳4,500 until 31 December 2026, and one quarter covers the whole course: 24 live sessions, weekly assignment feedback, and the two one-to-one review calls in weeks 6 and 12.

There is no seat limit and no waiting list, so nothing here rewards deciding in a hurry. A separate corporate arrangement is available for teams from the same organisation, with the situations rewritten around your sector; write to us and we will scope it.

Sessions are online, so members join from Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet and Rajshahi in the same batch, which is useful in itself: you spend twelve weeks speaking English with people whose first language is also Bangla, which is what most of your working life will look like anyway.
