SpeakLingua shows you exactly which of the 4 criteria is holding back your band
After every session, see your FC, Lexical Resource, Grammar, and Pronunciation bands separately — and get a targeted plan to close the gap.
The real test is 11–14 minutes across 3 parts. SpeakLingua covers every minute of it.
4–6 minutes. The examiner asks about familiar topics — your home, studies, hobbies, daily life. Sounds easy, but Indian speakers often under-explain, giving one-sentence answers when 3–4 sentences are expected.
Examiner · Part 1
Examiner
“Do you prefer living in a city or a smaller town? Why?”
You (short answer)
“I prefer city.”
Examiner (follow-up)
“Can you tell me more about why you prefer that? What specific advantages does it offer you?”
→ Examiner adapts when your answer is under 20 words
1 minute to prepare. 2 minutes to speak — without the examiner interrupting. Most Indian speakers run out of things to say at 60 seconds. The cue card gives you 4 bullet points to cover, but you need to expand each one.
Part 2 · Cue Card
Describe a time you helped someone
4–5 minutes. The hardest part — abstract questions on society, trends, and global issues. This is where Band 5 and Band 7 speakers diverge. Band 7 requires complex structures, hedging language, and opinion frameworks.
Part 3 Coaching Tip
“To what extent do you think social media has changed the way people form relationships?”
Try this framework
"It's a complex issue, but I'd argue that…"
"On one hand… however on the other hand…"
"The evidence suggests that… though this varies by…"
6 pronunciation errors cost Indian IELTS speakers the most band points. We built targeted drills for every one of them.
TH Sound
“dis” instead of “this”
Tongue between teeth — not behind them
Vowel Length
“ship” vs “sheep”
Short vs long vowels change word meaning
Final Consonants
“gif” for “gift”
Pronounce every consonant at the end
Syllable Stress
“adVERtisement”
Stress the correct syllable every time
Flat Intonation
Monotone speech pattern
Natural pitch variation signals engagement
Article Omission
“I like music” (wrong context)
A/an/the — Indian speakers often skip them
90 targeted drills — 15 per pattern.
Hear a native sentence → repeat it → get error-specific feedback on which of the 6 patterns you triggered.
Try Fix My PronunciationYour overall IELTS Speaking band is the average of 4 criterion scores. Knowing which one is lowest tells you exactly where to focus.
Fluency & Coherence
Flow, connectives, sustained speech without long pauses
Lexical Resource
Vocabulary range, paraphrasing, idiomatic expression
Grammatical Range
Sentence structure variety, complexity, and accuracy
Pronunciation
Clarity, word stress, intonation, natural rhythm

No serious Indian AI IELTS speaking tool existed. So we built one.
The real cost of missing your band
You're not taking IELTS because you enjoy English tests. You're taking it because a band score stands between you and your Canada PR, your UK visa, or your Australian migration.
Miss Band 6 by 0.5 and you're paying ₹14,000+ to retake, waiting 3 more months, and watching your visa timeline shift. Speaking is the section that fails the most Indian applicants — and it's the most improvable one.
Why generic prep fails
British Council and IDP coaching gives you one session a week with a human examiner. E2Language and IELTS Advantage are priced in AUD and GBP for a different market. None of them tell you which of the 4 criteria is costing you band points — or give you unlimited practice until your test date.
The India gap
So we built it
SpeakLingua was built in Delhi — for the student in Lucknow, Hyderabad, or Chandigarh who needs Band 6.5 for Canada and can't afford to pay a British coaching company in pounds.
Band 6.0
IELTS minimum for Canada Express Entry
Most applicants target 6.5–7.0 to be competitive
₹14,000+
Cost of one IELTS retake
Every missed band = 3 months and another test fee
Band 7.0
UK Skilled Worker visa requirement
Also required for most UK university admissions
“I needed Band 6.5 for my Canada Express Entry profile. Failed twice at 6.0. Six weeks with SpeakLingua — Band 7.0. PR application submitted. The adaptive examiner was exactly what I was missing.”
Priya K.
🇨🇦 Bengaluru → Canada
5.5 → 7
IELTS Band
“UK Skilled Worker visa required Band 7. I was at 6 for two attempts. The TH pronunciation drills alone moved my Pronunciation band by a full point. Visa approved.”
Rahul S.
🇬🇧 Pune → United Kingdom
6 → 7.5
IELTS Band
“Canada PR target was Band 7. Stuck at 6 for months, doing general practice. SpeakLingua showed my Lexical Resource was the bottleneck — not fluency. Focused on that, hit Band 7 on my next attempt.”
