Trying to find an address in some of the “chiggy wiggy” lanes of Borivali (W), I took a halt under the shade of a bus stop to figure out exactly where I was and where I should proceed next. With the little visiting card, on which was the address where I wanted to go, I tried to fan myself for some cool breeze – no use, though. I began to wipe the trickles of my sweat that streamed down from my forehead and went on to kiss my cheeks. After a few “phews” and “haaas” and "husssh", I started looking around again. My eyeballs bounced upon an advertisement on one of the wall on the other side of the road. That was the only ad on that wall, the rest just said “Yethe Mutu Naye”, “Yahan Peshaab Karna Mana Hai”, “Kripaya Paan Khake Na Thukein”, “Stick No Bills”, and other similar warning messages. No one really cared to read though – three men were standing facing the wall pouring their warm feelings on the warning message that told them not to do so.
Coming back to the ad that I saw, I read it and found something seriously wrong. My retina scanned the ad again, and I just couldn’t stop laughing. Next immediate thing I did was taking out my mobile and capture a picture of that advertisement, see image given below.
“SpeakWell English Academy – 20% DISCUNT”??? OMG! OMG! An institute that calls itself an Academy of English, making such an error. And what a word they chose to misspell :-]. I wonder what quality of English they must be teaching.
Or do they think, aaah! we teach spoken English, so who cares what we do with written English?

OTOH, what they are saying is that if you want 20% discount, they'll drop the O and call ya something else!
I am swati Here, I joined spekwell before some days at malad east Mumbai. And my experience is not good and I got disappointed after joining the class.
This is one of the worse institutes that I joined in my life. These people advertise a lot about their academy. But when you really attend the class you will come to know about the quality of teaching.
They don’t have separate batches for different level. They asked all people to sit at the same class even if person is not able to speak and the person who knows English well and want to work on his /her fluency.
The staff is not good. I paid my fees on first day without attending the demo lecture and now I am regretting that I wasted my money. I asked for my money back at the same day after the class and they are saying it’s not in their policy. These people are the worse people I ever seen. If you are able to speak English and want to work on your fluency and other factor, don’t join this class. you only west your money and your time . This is the worse place to learn the English. They advertise a lot about everything but in reality you wont be able to lean anything.
