SAY IT IN ENGLISH to empower Lankans

SAY IT IN ENGLISH is more than a business, it's a service to the nation and it's Dialog Axiata's way of empowering all Sri Lankans through this service said Dialog Axiata PLC Chief Marketing Officer Nushad Perera.

He said that any Sri Lankan can speak to a professional and get his phrases translated instantly.

Enabling and empowering those who feel inhibited by the language barrier is truly a worthy cause. The circumventing of this particular stumbling block is exactly what SAY IT IN ENGLISH hopes to achieve. A unique service fronted by Dialog with the support of ProActivation Better Life Contact, SAY IT IN ENGLISH seeks to provide assistance to any one and everyone who has difficulties of expressing themselves in English by providing them the opportunity to obtain on-line caller assistance to clear doubts and speak out with confidence and express themselves correctly in fulfilling their day to day needs without being impeded by lack of English knowledge.

SAY IT IN ENGLISH as a service will be available on both post paid and pre paid connections with dialog and is accessible from anywhere within the country.

Another unique aspect of SAY IT IN ENGLISH as a programme is the workforce who mans this call centre. Primarily made up of senior citizens who have had the opportunity to complete their primary education in English, SAY IT IN ENGLISH allows them to give back of their learning to the nation as a whole. The reintegration of these senior citizens into the productive work force of Sri Lanka allows them to make their lives more productive while adding value to the lives of others.

SAY IT IN ENGLISH empowers Dialog mobile phone users to have immediate, real time access to a working knowledge of English to help them improve the quality of their lives, realize their true potential and contribute to the development and progress of Sri Lanka as a whole.

Dialog mobile users can dial 550 and instantly connect with a dedicated call centre manned by agents who are willing to offer assistance to communicate in English. The service is available IN BOTH Sinhala and Tamil and can be accessed every day from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm.
