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 lessons in English are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival English to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the lesson can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in English history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of English, this is the choice for you.
English lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn English to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in English, as well as survival English should a short stay in the country be 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.

Las Vegas
The city of Las Vegas, situated in the state of Nevada has an unusual history, having originally been part of Mexico until it was annexed by the US in 1855. Its array of lavish hotels and casinos has led to it being labeled the 'entertainment capital of the world'. The most famous of these casinos are situated on Las Vegas Boulevard and are the perfect place to go if you have a few spare dollars in your pocket and enjoy the rush of a spot of blackjack, poker or roulette. If gambling is not your thing, Vegas has plenty more to offer - the city also has a rich and diverse artistic community. 'First Friday' is a must-see event, which takes place on the first Friday of each month in the Downtown Arts District, where local artists and musicians perform to crowds and passers-by. All these attractions added to the fantastic climate of hot summers, mild winters and year-round sunshine make Vegas a great destination to learn a foreign language.
