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.
English lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival English - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying English usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these English classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in English culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam 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.
English is the world's first language - it is the dominant tongue for matters of science, communications, business and diplomacy; and is the most-used language on the internet by far
English vocabulary derives from many sources, though primarily Latin, Ancient Greek, French and old Germanic tongues
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

A) Good morning, welcome on board.
B) Hello, thank you.
A) Please make sure you fasten your seatbelts as we will be ready for departure soon.
B) Of course. Can you tell me why we are running late as we were supposed to take off at 3pm and it?s now 4pm?
A) It has taken the ground crew longer to refuel than we imagined. As far as I am aware, that has been the only problem leading to our delay.
B) Ok, not to worry, my connecting flight to Los Angeles doesn?t leave until 8pm tomorrow so we will arrive in New York in plenty of time.
A) Oh good, that?s fine then.
B) I wonder if it would be possible to have a vegetarian meal prepared for me during the flight?
A) That?s no problem at all. I will tell the rest of the cabin crew about your request.

Buffalo
A city in the west of New York State, Buffalo is the second largest city in the state, with around 300,000 residents in the urban area. Historically a hotspot for early US industry, nowadays the city is often noted for its abundance of greenery found in the city's numerous public parks. Like most of the New York area, there is a great deal of ethnic variety throughout the city, especially on the West side; and people living in Buffalo would be well accustomed to hearing speakers of Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Chinese and many other foreign tongues. This cosmopolitan nature combined with a reputation for friendliness makes Buffalo a perfect base for learning a new language.
