Website Designed For Indian English Learners

Online, November 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - For a long time, Indian learners have been struggling to find quality resources on the internet to help them learn English. Now they don't need to despair as a new and rapidly growing website, www.englishleap.com, promises to help them with their English language needs.

On the internet, most of the English learning sites have been developed by native English speakers from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom or Australia. These sites have also been designed mainly for the East Asian markets which include countries like South Korea, China, Japan, Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos among others. Hence, there was a burning need for a website built for the many millions of Indian learners who are trying to learn English.

EnglishLeap.com has been developed by Leap Learning Solutions Private Limited, an Indian company headquartered in New Delhi. The team behind this website have ensured that each and every feature is developed keeping the Indian consumer in mind. As an example, there are lessons around Indian festivals like Diwali and Holi. There are also lessons around popular sports like cricket. In fact, it was surprising to find that there were lessons on Indian movies and Bollywood actors. Such lessons help the Indian learners improve their English in a familiar environment.

Another important improvement over international websites is that all the audio lessons have been recorded by Indians. Indian learners find it very difficult to follow an American, British or Australian accent. In the case of Englishleap.com, since all the recordings are in a neutral Indian accent, the users from India are able to understand the conversations. In fact, special care has been taken to ensure that neutral Indian accents are used and all regional and vernacular biases are eliminated.

A functionality which has been found quite useful by Indian learners is about correctingIndianisms. There are some peculiar English usage by Indians which is different from any other country. For example, words and phrases like aeroplane, prepone, doing the needful are used by Indians often but which constitute incorrect English usage. EnglishLeap.com works on identifying and removing such Indianisms from the learners vocabulary.

Given the fact that this website has been designed keeping in mind the needs of the Indian consumers, it has had a fantastic response from all over the country.Surprisingly, the website has had repeat visitors not only from the metropolitan cities, where net penetration is high, but also from the Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
