Which is more important?

As I teach English daily, I often wonder what my students want to learn in the I Speak You Speak English classes. When it comes to choosing from Vocabulary, Grammar or Pronunciation; the question moulds itself to "How to teach all these essential elements to my students?"
To answer it straight, I use media files, play YouTubes and show PPT's in the classes to place the learners in a real-life English-Speaking Environment. From there on the participants hold Live Conversations in the sessions and get instant feedback from me. I often correct them on the Singular-Plural Rule, Tenses or appropriate usage of Words.

What and how do you as a student expect to learn from an online class where the teacher leads you in a practice session on Speaking English?

Conversations on Negotiation and Bargaining

How do you ask for a discount at the posh Mall next door with your head held high? How do you convince your client that your services come at a fixed charge? After all, you do not indulge in any kind of bargaining when it comes to offering your consultancy.

What about striking a deal? Negotiating a deal or agreement with business groups and organizations or Government representatives; involves the use of technically professional language.


In one of my Classes on I Speak You Speak English, we started with a list of words relating to Bargaining and Negotiation. Then, the students and I held situation-specific Conversations where a negotiating party spoke dialogues with others.

The most frequently used words and phrases were:
1. "Our company's policy is..."

2. "True, but we do not work on these conditions..."

3. "Sorry Sir, our Terms and Conditions are fixed..."

Try to figure out some more. You can even type your own dialogues here.
