Bharti Airtel’s DTH service Airtel digital TV has launched a new interactive service, iEnglish, to help subscribers hone their English speaking skills.

The service offers English language tutorials based on an audio-visual format, animated characters and quizzes for easy comprehension

Good to hear she is keen to learn Eng, well I wish her all the best… considering the information u provided, subscribe to “TS Madaan” youtube channel, the guy named Avval has got some really good content for vernacular students, secondly start slow and steady as little as just 45 mins daily but consistently. Start shifting to english content as much as possible even if she isn’t comfortable with the lang, like Watching English cooking shows, English news App, English News channels, Hollywood movies etc..Idea here is to get maximum exposure to the new language she is learning.

Duolingo is a good app + Watching English movies or documentaries with subtitles can really help

Key to learn anything is ‘use’. If she starts talking in English every day then she will learn it very quickly, otherwise she will forget whatever she learns from youtube or apps. Experiential learning is best way to learn. Let her talk in english and you can correct her (only if you know stuck_out_tongue) without being angry.

i like speaking english over hindi,rather staying in kolkata am compelled to speak hindi as people dont take much interest in conversation if one talks in english,freinds think you are being formal instead of casual or you trying to show off. stuck_out_tongue

Best way to learn a language is to listen and speak it.
Make her listen to BBC world service. She can do that even while doing household work.
And also insist that she speaks only in English at home.
Also, most Indians tend to frame sentences in their native language in their mind and then translate it. Thats the worse possible mistake. Make her to think directly in English while speaking.

Bro , Just tell her some basic Grammer Rules.

Like when and where to use did ,can/could , will/would , should , verbs etc

One more thing , give broad idea about timeline means for any sentence/lines of past , present , future how she has to think(basically Grammer thing).

Vocabulary – make list of all daily words.

Use all these in conversation.
