While he knew the language of coding and computers, Anand\u2019s biggest fear was <strong>interacting<\/strong> with people <strong>in English<\/strong>. With the new job came new responsibilities and Anand felt <strong>ill-prepared<\/strong> to face it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His company had their own <strong>training sessions<\/strong>, which Anand attended. Even though he learned that he needed to communicate with his team regularly, he still wasn\u2019t able to <strong>solve his problem<\/strong> of learning how to <strong>communicate in English<\/strong>. When Anand saw the <strong>advertisement<\/strong> about the STEP Coach Unlimited programme offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>STEP from The Hindu Group<\/strong><\/a>, he decided to check it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Struggling to Communicate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBefore I started the programme, I was <strong>struggling to communicate fluently<\/strong> in English. When I attended my first coach call, I was so intimidated and stumbled over my words. But my tutor was so patient and <strong>encouraged<\/strong> me to speak a <strong>few sentences<\/strong> in English. With each class, my <strong>confidence and communication skills<\/strong> started developing slowly little by little.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What made a difference for me was that I could schedule my <strong>coach calls any time<\/strong> I wanted. I was <strong>not restricted<\/strong> to anybody\u2019s schedule but mine. I <strong>really enjoyed speaking<\/strong> to my tutor in <strong>English<\/strong>. I learned that any\u00a0 I made while speaking could be corrected and I wouldn\u2019t have to feel embarrassed about them. The best part about talking to the coach was not only that I got to practise my speaking skills, but also how my <strong>tutor gave me instant feedback<\/strong>. If I made a pronunciation mistake, or used the <strong>wrong phrase<\/strong> to talk about something, my tutor would <strong>immediately correct<\/strong> me.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anand talks about how he hadn\u2019t even noticed his pronunciation errors until he started the coach calls. He had been talking to his tutor about an upcoming work trip and mentioned that he had not checked the \u201citinery\u201d yet. His tutor stopped him immediately and corrected his pronunciation, saying it was \u2018itinerary\u2019. Anand made sure to pronounce this word correctly from that day onwards. He will always remember his tutor and coach every time he sees a travel plan on his desk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Online Classes for Learning English<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>online classes<\/strong> made learning English a <strong>fun activity<\/strong> for Anand. Being able to access the on-demand video <strong>lessons from anywhere<\/strong> helped. He could choose which type of lesson to watch that day. Some days, it was the <strong>Listen Better lessons<\/strong>, where he would listen to, or <strong>watch a conversation<\/strong> and then <strong>answer some questions<\/strong> based on it. Other days, it might be a Grammar lesson, where he would learn how to use different grammar concepts in his day-to-day life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He particularly liked one lesson where there was a <strong>short conversation between friends<\/strong> who were trying to decide where to go in the weekend. They<strong> spoke just the way Anand did<\/strong> when we met up with his friends.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He could watch the lessons on the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.hindu.step&amp;hl=en_IN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>STEP app<\/strong><\/a> on his <strong>mobile<\/strong> and complete the <strong>practice activities<\/strong> too. With each lesson and each coach call, Anand found his<strong> English Speaking Course helpful<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He loved attending the live classes every week, where he learned more tips on <strong>improving his communication<\/strong>. He would log in to his class at least 5 minutes before it started. He would interact with the trainer on chat and try to answer all the questions asked in the session. He loved the polls, where he had to select an answer by clicking on an option on the screen. He felt like he was in <strong>a classroom and listening to a teacher<\/strong>. The <strong>practice questions<\/strong> that came towards the end of the class helped him understand the <strong>concept<\/strong> that had been <strong>taught<\/strong> that day. The final activity, where he had to use the concept that he had learned through sentences gave him the push to start <strong>communicating confidently<\/strong> with his<strong> peers and managers<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, Anand is a <strong>confident manager<\/strong> who has <strong>no problem<\/strong> handling his team, or <strong>communicating<\/strong> with managers from other countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to<strong> improve<\/strong> your <a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/blog\/five-secrets-to-improve-your-communication-immediately\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>communication skills in English<\/strong><\/a> like Anand?
