Nardagani Works for ESL Program Students
Nardagani is a reading and pronunciation program in which ESL program students have grown their reading skills considerably and also improved their pronunciation with life-changing results. Our program eliminates the need to learn all the complicated rules and exceptions in English, thereby eliminating the confusion of learning this often confusing language. The Nardagani symbols “live” under letters that make more than one sound, guiding the student to use the correct pronunciation of the written word every time.
Nardagani: Can you share a story about the success of a Nardagani ESL program student?
Narda Pitkethly, CEO of Naradagni: Patricia worked at a local Mexican restaurant. She couldn’t speak English, so I ordered my lunch by pointing to the picture on the menu. Patricia was very kind and I wanted to help, as I knew if she learned English speaking, it could improve her life. One day I brought in a Spanish speaking friend who translated my message, “would she be interested in learning English the Nardagani way?” She said in halting English, “I want to learn English.”
We then began Nardagani classes a few days later. After fifteen one-hour lessons Patricia felt she was reading writing and learning in ESL really strongly—she felt great. Within six months, Patricia felt so good about her English that she opened her own restaurant in our town, The International Cowboy Cocina!
Nardagani: Can you share another success story?
Narda Pitkethly: Having issues reading can be embarrassing, so many people like the option of our English speaking course online for ESL classes. No need to worry about ESL classes near me. Private classes are right in your own home because of our English speaking course online, where you can learn English. For English as a first language learners, many native speakers also need to learn how to read English.
There once was a man in his 70s I met at a local business establishment, let’s call him Dave. He was intrigued by the Nardagani symbols and asked if we could meet at my office. The next day Dave came to my office. He asked if he could shut the door. Once we were in complete privacy, he sat down across from me at my desk. He had two magazines with him. First he showed me the magazine with Fortune written across the font. Dave said, “See here on page 86, I’m a successful business man—right here in this magazine!” Then he showed me Entrepreneur Magazine and said, “I’m in this magazine too. You can see I’m a very smart man.” I nodded my head and acknowledged him. Then he leaned in close and said in a whisper, “I can’t read.”
By this point of teaching Nardagani I was not surprised, as I’d taught many people of all ages and backgrounds who struggled with reading. I said, “Let’s fix this situation. I’ll teach you to read!” And I did.
Nardagani: Do you know where Nardagani’s ESL program students are from around the globe?
Narda Pitkethly: Students from the following countries have learned to read and pronounce English with Nardagani: United States, China, South Africa, Japan, Spain, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, Israel, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Germany, Singapore, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, France, Malaysia, India, Peru, Poland, Vietnam, Panama, Thailand, Dominican Republic, Russia, and New Zealand.
Nardagani: Why is Nardagani the best online ESL program available around the globe?
Narda Pitkethly: Nardagani is the best ESL online program available not only in the USA, but around the globe, because it is simple to learn. Within six (one-hour) lessons, students have a solid understand of every sound of every letter, by going through an interactive online program, writing exercises and games. Once students have the first six lessons complete, the rest of the lessons are simply practicing reading with the help of the Nardagani symbols. This exercise of practicing reading with our symbols helps build confidence in English, vocabulary and comprehension.
After students read all of our books coded with our symbols in their grade level, they may then begin reading our suggested reading list, which are books without the symbols. Starting at the top of the list with the lowest level book, students have an easy time reading without the Nardagani symbols.
