Our native-speaking qualified English teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
This set of English tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning English. Even though all novice students will cover survival English: enough English to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in English culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in English.
These English lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn English to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail English, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
The English lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One English Lesson or Small Group In-Company English Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster English Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
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
The vocabulary of the English language is by far the widest-ranging of any language in the world - without counting proper nouns there are well over a million words
English is a pluricentric language, with no dialect considered 'official', and with no authority that governs and preserves it

"She is a really good teacher, and I feel that she really prepares the class for my needs. It is a shame that I have to go back to my country - I really feel that I have improved my English"
Baton Rouge
While the eyes of the world were focused on the post-Katrina recovery of New Orleans, lost was the never-ending spirit of the people of Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana. Also hit hard by the massive storm, Baton Rouge provided a steadying influence on residents of the state at a time when things looked their most dire. The 70th largest city in the United States, Baton Rouge is a unique place with a colorful history tied to French, American and Native American tradition. Proximity to the mouth of the Mississippi River has made it a major port for importing and exporting of goods in the United States. Currently, Baton Rouge is home to over 200,000 residents many of whom work in the state political offices found in the heart of the city. The makeup of Baton Rouge is as unique as its name, with a healthy mixture of American, African-American, Creole and other heritages. Getting in touch with the unique history of this wonderful city is easy for those who take the time to learn a foreign language.
