Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified English tutors at a time and location to suit you. Classes can take place any day, even weekends, and can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. If the case may be that your home or office is not convenient, there is always the option to take your classes at the office of your teacher. Study books for the course are provided.
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 courses 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 courses in English are meant for those that feel that learning English would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone English and e-mail English skills for communicating, as well as survival English if a short visit to the country is needed.
Courses in English are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One English Course or Small Group In-Company English Course). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster English sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.
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
Almost 90% of children in Europe learn English at school as a foreign language

Colorado Springs
The Springs, as it's affectionately known by all who hold this Rocky Mountains city dear to their hearts, is located just south of Denver in the State of Colorado and near the base of Pikes Peak. While early travellers were seeking pristine recuperation from tuberculosis in the high altitude and dry air of Colorado Springs, these days there are many more reasons for international visitors to pass through and settle in the city. This means that The Springs is a fantastic place to take the plunge into learning a new language! Sister city status with Fujiyoshida (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Smolensk (Russia), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) and Nuevo Casas Grandes (Mexico) ensures Colorado Springs a steady stream of student exchange and understanding between the communities. It also provides an unbeatable opportunity to study a relevant and fascinating foreign language.
