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.
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.
The English lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One English Lesson or Small Group In-Company English Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster English Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
English uses the standard Latin alphabet, with the occasional accent used for words borrowed from other languages, such as 'café'
English vocabulary derives from many sources, though primarily Latin, Ancient Greek, French and old Germanic tongues
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

Laval
More than just a cool palindrome, Laval is also the second biggest city in the Montreal province of Canada, with a population last counted at 375,000 people. Considered a suburb of Montreal, Laval is a quiet town where people who want a little more elbow room that they may find in the big city come to live and raise their families. The city has always been connected to Montreal as that city's fortunes improved with new industries and additional tourism, so too did Laval's. Why take the time to learn a new language in Laval? Recent surveys found that English, French, Arabic, Italian, Greek or Armenian were spoken by a significant percentage of the population. To keep up with the unique mixture of people in Laval, you're going to have to start by building your language skills!
