Mind Power English Course

"Bapna's English Course"
“Different, Better, Unique:
There is No Other Course or Book Like This
At Any Price”
Compare our method of using will/shall with other books. Our
method takes 1 to 2 minutes while the other books take 5 to 10
pages, requiring you many days to learn to use will/shall correctly
and yet not remember after a month. Do you fully realize now that
my course is really unique and different, and so you learn effective
English quickly?

Bapna’s Will/Shall Rule and other material in this course cannot

be copied by other authors or books because this material is based
on our research, and we own the copyright and trademarks.

“Designed For Whom...”

This proven course is for you if you can understand English when
others speak, but are not sure of the correct way to write or speak
effective English. Or, if you sometimes make mistakes or get
confused when speaking English. Or, if you have used books on
grammar or spoken English to learn effective English, but did not get
much success.

Whether you are a student or in job, if you are highly motivated to

learn effective, powerful and fluent English, and build vocabulary
(word power) easily and quickly, this course is a boon for you. This
unique course has already helped lakhs of students in India and
abroad.

You Become Confident & Fluent

Let me clarify what fluency means. You are a fluent speaker if
you speak easily without hesitation.

Do you know when do people hesitate? Answer: when they are

not confident of the meaning or use of a word. For example if you
are sure of the use of will/shall, you speak confidently and fluently,
without hesitation.

This was my goal for you while developing this big course on
effective English.

Unlike any other course, with this course, you learn quickly and
easily simply because I have used my expertise in mind power and
study techniques to research and develop this course.
