yeah

right so the competitive form of nice is

nicer okay

okay

okay that's interesting that's very

intelligent you invented the game you

said right

yes

it

means

you have two siblings your sister and

brother

yeah

means normally my sister would be

playing so we were so we also played it

and uh the way we got off and we we

played it and we named it

and we started playing it

okay that's that's funny are you the

eldest sister or

who's the and the eldest button but at

my nani's house i'm also i'm the alice

house i'm not their list

okay so like the among the cousins

yeah

among my brothers and sisters okay

okay okay so do you like being the

endless one do you get any privileges

for being the eldest one

well sometimes when there's a fight i do

not like being elvis otherwise the

smallest one man

but

when it is about

going to the market the eldest one will

be sent to the market alone and all then

i like being yelled at

oh so like going to the market alone

yeah but but my mother is too scared to

send me along so nowadays first when i

was the younger than six younger than

now my mother would send me but um

but because

she stopped sending me and now she

doesn't i need to practice and all so

now i'm okay being elder but the worst

thing to be entered is you will have

many subjects

but that everyone will have someday as

they grow up right

yeah

that is bound to happen that's like

the the normal progression of life you

can't escape from more subjects

okay so avisha tell me uh do you want me

to explain about how this platform works

yes

okay so i'll tell you briefly about it

okay so if you have any questions you

can ask me

okay okay

yeah so yeah so these sessions will be

like this okay so these will be

one-on-one zoom call sessions with with

speakers and you know there are more

than 150 speakers on this platform from

different parts of the country from

various backgrounds okay and while you

will be having these conversations you

will be corrected on things uh we think

you need improvement on okay so as you

speak will hello can you hear me

yes

just because of noise i asked it

out my mutedness okay okay it's okay you

can a mute if you want if you can hear

me it's fine

okay okay

i not often i turned it off okay

okay

right

yeah so you know like this so we'll be

correcting on the things which you we

feel that you need some correction you

can improve yourself so we'll be giving

you personalized feedback according to

your problem areas okay the more you

speak will realize what if there are

some patterns that you know in which you

make mistakes or anything that you need

correction on

all right and these sessions will be

recorded

so after the session you can always go

back to the recording and see what the

tutor corrected you on or you know what

mistakes you were making or also see you

know while communication body language

and your facial expression all of that

is also important do you know that

okay

right yes so you know that way you will

be benefiting over time you'll be able

to see how you know how you're improving

how is facial expression important

for example uh

if i

if i ask you what were you doing

versus what were you doing

you know they both have entirely

different meanings you could understand

the first one i was just asking in a

very friendly manner but in the second

one i was maybe angry at you or upset

with you at something right about

something

yeah

right

at times you know maybe your mother or

your parents are maybe a little angry at

you and they are not even saying

anything but they're just giving you one

look

and you would realize that they are

angry right has that ever happened

yes my sister always when my mother say

something or not even if she sees my

mother's special expression she always

says

she makes her her facial expression

whether it's true or not

really angry

[Laughter]

so she always pretends that she's

actually angry she gives off that

expression right

she has lots of work so she and so she

expresses that

special expression and my sister gets

my sister

doesn't leave my mother and

she

my mother will get truly angry to show

her anger

okay so like your sister keeps annoying

her until she actually gives that

expression and gets angry

really angry

yeah sometimes she doesn't she gets she

missed we getting angry and doesn't show

the expression but once but when my

sister identifies that she's angry she

makes her show the expression

deliberately just a second and type it

just give me a second okay

deliberately means intentionally you

know purposely i'll write it

you know mean you know intentionally and

purposely do oh god

just a second

yeah the second one the first one in the

first one i

mistyped it with a colon okay

deliberately means intentionally or

purposely

willingly okay

not deliberately she doesn't do it

deliberately but yes she does it

uh do uh just to know that whether she's

doing this or that and when she says

that arugula doing this you said this

you said this said this and again my

mother gets angry and shows her

harika starts

showing the message and showing that

message that please

be away from mother she's angry

okay okay so just to find out if she's

actually angry or not she does that

yeah i think that you're okay

okay okay okay so so this is why facial

expressions is important during

communication okay so like i was saying

or you can go back to the recording and

see them and see in every session when

you book the session you will receive a

session document and in that session

document there will be a topic a topic

of the day

and the tutor and you will be talking on

that topic so something like food

shopping you know something lighthearted

so i will i mean the speaker the tutor

will be asking you questions so you know

avisha what do you like to eat do you go

to eat out often something like that and

that way you know you will be uh

speaking and the whole point is to make

you speak more

right so that you get more practice

and uh your confidence will get boosted

up okay and also we will find if what

are the mistakes that you make

right and that is accordingly we'll be

able to help you

okay

okay

yes

yes and apart from that these session

documents will also contain so every

session document will contain some new

vocabulary so around 15 20 new words

so you can go through that and add those

words in your own vocabulary

also there will be some grammar

exercises some reading material

which you know that will that will be in

every session document so you can

practice those exercises and if you have

any questions you can ask the tutor

whenever you have any doubts

all right

your screen froze am i are you able to

see me or hear me and like is everything

okay because i can't see you

hello okay now can you see me

no i can't see you but it's it's okay if

you can hear me okay we are we have

around three minutes left so i'll go

over the things that i have to tell you

uh about the session plans uh you can

ask your mother to go through the

website or the application whatever you

prefer

okay uh one more thing so this was a 15

minute session right

so uh these sessions will be of two

kinds there are two options 15 minutes

and 25 minutes

15 minute sessions will be 19 minute

session and the 25 months will 25

minutes once will be 29 minute session

so every session you'll be getting four

more minutes extra you know to mitigate

any uh technical issues audio issues

video issues something all of that okay

so that you don't lose out on money that

you're actually paying for

so do let your mother know that and

apart from that in a week you can choose

once a week thrice a week five times or

seven times a week

and there's a one month three month six

month or 12 month subscription

these are basically the subscription

plans which your i think your mother

will be going through them so you can

tell her

and like i said you know the way i

corrected you and gave you new words

this will be happening in the sessions

and uh yeah try speaking with different

kinds of speakers because you know

something which i might not be able to

help you or something which i might not

notice that you're making some mistake

some other speaker will be able to help

you with that so try speaking with

different speakers there are many

speakers on this platform

and the more practice you get

the better you'll be able to speak in

english

that's the entire point of it and your

screen has been frozen since a long time

so i hope you can hear me but i can't

see you
