You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified English teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the course at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant course materials.
These English lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival English by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough English to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of English culture and those who just wish to pass a particular English exam.
Those who would benefit the most from these English tutorials are those who feel they need to learn English to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail English, as well as survival English should a visit to the country be necessary.
Those wishing to learn English in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One English Courses or Small Group In-Company English Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of English proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster English Courses can occur with up to 12 people.
The worldwide spread of English is primarily thanks to the reach of the British Empire and the USA's growing worldwide influence after the Second World War
English is a pluricentric language, with no dialect considered 'official', and with no authority that governs and preserves it
With over a billion 'learners' around the world (added to the 400 million or so people who use it as their native tongue), English is quickly becoming the globe's universal language
English Testimonials
"The classes were really dynamic; I really feel that I’ve improved my English. The teacher was very reliable"
Austin
In addition to being the fourth largest city in Texas and the 16th largest in the United States, Austin is also the educational and cultural capital of Texas. Home to the University of Texas' biggest campus, many of our top business minds and scientists have learned and honed their craft in Austin. Every year, the city plays host to the South by Southwest Festival – a gathering of top filmmakers and independent musicians from around the world. The quality of life in Austin is considered to be very high. Money Magazine once rated the city the '#1 place to live in the United States' and it is always making appearances on listings of the 'greenest' cities in America. The diverse population that is attracted by the University of Texas campus includes people of almost every race and nationality. Learning a new language in Austin provides a way to communicate with both the students who attend the University and the many professionals who call Austin their adopted home.
