These courses in English are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival English to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in English history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of English, this is the choice for you.
These English courses are intended for people who really need to learn English to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone English and e-mail English skills for communications as well as Survival English required for short visits to a country.

The booking has to be made for all students at the same time.

Babylon
With a population just over 200,000, Babylon, New York is able to crack the list of the 100 most populous cities in the United States. Best known for the Fire Island area at its southernmost tip which hosts a large summer community of gay and lesbian vacationers, Babylon has seen growth and prosperity in other areas in recent years, including: technology spending and large infrastructure projects that have greatly enhanced the quality of life there. Babylon is nowhere near as big as Manhattan, but still boasts a relatively high median income of over $60,000 per year thanks to many residents who have achieved financial success in New York City and then chosen to take up residence in this peaceful town. 10% of Babylon is made up of Hispanic or Latino individuals making Spanish the second language of choice in local schools and the business community. And with the international airports of New York City close by, it's easy to jet off to exotic foreign locales after you learn a new language in Babylon.
