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.
English courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival English - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying English usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these English classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in English culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in English.
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 courses 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 course 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.
Courses in English are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One English Course or Small Group In-Company English Course). 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
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
English vocabulary derives from many sources, though primarily Latin, Ancient Greek, French and old Germanic tongues

Longueuil
Longueuil is the 19th biggest city in Canada, with a population of 225,000 people. The city is broken up into three different boroughs, Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park, each one with a distinct feel and its own history. Close to Montreal, Longueuil is seen by many as a suburb of that world-renowned city. But there is industry in Longueuil, in particular the aerospace business. Companies like Pratt & Whitey and the Canadian Space Agency are both located there and employed thousands of the city's hardest working people. In terms of languages that are essential to living in Longueuil, French and English run one and two respectively, but there is also a growing need for Arabic speakers in the area.
