Our English speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These English lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival English by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough English to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of English culture and those who just wish to pass a particular English exam.
These lessons 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 lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson 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.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of English, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these English lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One English Lessons or Small Group In-Company English Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in English can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
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 uses the standard Latin alphabet, with the occasional accent used for words borrowed from other languages, such as 'café'
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

Hamilton
Over half a million people live in Hamilton, making it the ninth biggest city in all of Canada. After years of relying on steel and heavy equipment manufacturing for its primary revenue stream, the economy of Hamilton is now more focused on the service industries, specifically the healthcare industry. The largest such company in the area, Hamilton Health Sciences, employs a large number of people in the community and serves the medical and healthcare needs of over two million people in the area. Many film and television productions companies have filmed in Hamilton. The universal look of the city and the scenic backdrop make it an ideal choice. Although the city of Hamilton is mostly white, there are a number of Asian and Southeast Asian families living there. With the international business community picking up steam in the area, knowing languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Spanish can advance one's career rather quickly.
