You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified English teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
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.
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 lessons 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 lesson 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.
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.

Long Beach
What's not to love about a city only 20 miles from the heart of Los Angeles that averages 345 days of sunshine per year? The city of Long Beach, California is adjacent to Los Angeles but has a culture and a history all its own. There are miles of beautiful beaches and one of the most prominent aquariums in the world in Long Beach. The most famous cruise ship in the world, The Queen Mary, is dry-docked there (and is used for parties, concerts and special events), and the port system is responsible for a huge percentage of the international trade that comes in and out of the Los Angeles area. You can learn any number of languages in Long Beach and put them to good use with your neighbors and business partners. Start with Spanish, but also consider Korean, Chinese, Arabic and other dialects to increase intelligence and your attractiveness to potential employers.
