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 lesson 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 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 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.
Lessons in English are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One English Lesson or Small Group In-Company English Lesson). 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.
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 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
English vocabulary derives from many sources, though primarily Latin, Ancient Greek, French and old Germanic tongues

Jersey City
The name says it all: Jersey City is the essence of New Jersey. Located on the west bank of the Hudson River, Jersey City may be a commuter city for those doing business in Manhattan, but it does not have a 'Second City' complex. Just across the Hudson River from NYC, Jersey City has been able to attract thousands of businesses that are unable to find appropriate office or factory space in Manhattan. As a result companies from all over the world in industries such as technology, manufacturing and import/export have set up shop in Jersey City. Like many cities in the area, Jersey City struggled throughout most of the 1970's and 1980's, but has experienced a resurgence in the new millennium. Now, art galleries and hip restaurants dot the landscape and new residential developments have drawn a younger crowd seeking refuge from the high real estate prices of Manhattan. With a large Hispanic population base and the thriving international business community in town and across the river, this might be the best time ever to learn a second language in Jersey City.
