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 courses 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.
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.
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 spoken in the USA and the UK differ plenty, in vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation; though it is easy for speakers of either to understand the other
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 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

Halifax
Settled by the world-famous Colonel Edward Cornwallis, Halifax is named after the President of the British Board of Trade in 1746, Lord Halifax. Forty percent of all the residents of Nova Scotia live in this beautiful city, with many engaging in maritime industries provided by all the bodies of water that surround the Halifax area. Tourism is another primary industry for the city, with Canadian and European tourists coming to Halifax in large numbers during the summer months of the year. Tourists bring dollarsÂ…and different languages as well. That means residents of Halifax will reap significant benefits from learning languages such as French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. Many Pacific Rim countries are also well-represented in Halifax, which makes learning Chinese, Korean and Japanese popular and productive choices as well.
