Hindi and English are the two languages mentioned in an Indian passport. These languages act as a critical tool of a country with more than a hundred languages; however, not everyone can speak Hindi, making English more accessible. Leaving English aside, the constitution recognizes 22 other regional languages.

International affairs play a significant role in the progress of a developing country like India. To communicate internationally spoken English is crucial; it is an impact of colonialism all over the world, regardless, it is what it is.

The above reason is why English is so important wherever you look, be it in schools, universities, the corporate industry, or the entertainment industry. People coming from regional language schools lag because they are forced to communicate in English once they enroll in a college.

Pocket-sized spoken English courses have been established all over India, trying to give everyone an opportunity to, if not write, but speak English. As there are so many options to choose from when opting for a spoken English course, it becomes challenging to pick out the best option that fits your needs. Hence, it would help if you considered a few things when choosing a particular course.

1. Certification

Make sure the course you are opting for is certified and authorized by officials.

2. Course Structure, Time, and Fee

Look into the course structure, the time required for you to complete the course, and whether
the fee applicable for it is worth it. A course might offer you very little and ask for a high amount of money or vice versa; hence, you need to compare and calculate.

3. Requirements

 Be sure of what you need and why you need a particular course. There are various courses
aimed at different people with different requirements; some are career-focused while some are offering different difficulty levels, so, crosscheck and make sure the time you are opting for fills in all your needs.

4. Research 

Do not enroll in a course just for the sake of registering for one. Once you narrow down
your options, start your research. There is information available all over the internet regarding all sorts of courses. If any institute offering the course has scandals, you will
quickly get to know about them.

5. Recommendation

Ask around about the courses concerned. A recommendation is exceptionally crucial, and it was the way of life before the internet age. The chances are that people you interact with daily will not recommend something that isn't worth your time.

There are both online and offline options available for you, which is a pro because you don't
need to leave your home comfort to learn spoken English, and you can do it sitting on your
a couch while sipping on cups of coffee.

The courses vary from person to person and are subjective. What might be best for you might not be for another person, and that is why there are different types of course structures, trying to cater to the masses. 

Some of the few best courses that m aware of are offered by Udemy, the British Council,

Everyone is aware of how Udemy works, and it is pretty cheap as well, you can complete the course on Udemy according to your timings, but, make sure it offers you what you require. I know people who have completed courses on Udemy, has learned the skill, but the certification is robust. If you are willing to learn spoken English just for your personal development, go ahead, use Udemy, but if you require proper certification, Udemy might not be your best call.

Naturally, one might opt for learning spoken English through the British Council. Still, you can only do so if you either live in Delhi, Chennai, or Kolkata and they conduct no form of online classes, everything offered by them is physical. Delhi, Chennai, and Kolkata do not represent India whole, and to be very honest, people living in the cities, as mentioned above, have a better grasp of spoken English than many. Let say learning from the British Council is for the privileged, but the certification is one of the best.

SpokenMate is a platform offering both offline and online classes. I had completed a two- month course from SpokenMate called Spoken English Expert Mate, and doing so has been a huge confidence booster. I was someone who always knew how to write proper English but would stumble on my words when speaking, especially if it came to public speaking, but SpokenMate changed that for me.

The certification offered by SpokenMate is beneficial and will come in handy wherever you go. They offer courses aimed at different skilled professionals, people who want to learn to boost confidence and students. For me, SpokenMate provides the best courses for spoken English.
