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.
English lessons 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.
These English lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn English to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail English, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
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
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

Oyster Bay
As the name suggests, the town of Oyster Bay is thusly named because Dutch settlers in the 1600's arrived and found an ample amount of the finest oysters they had ever eaten. And while this culinary discovery helped propel the economy for many years, the city that stands today thrives because of a diverse business community and a proximity to the hustle and bustle of New York City. Located in Nassau County on Long Island, Oyster Bay is a town of almost 300,000 people, many of whom work in Manhattan during the day and return home to the splendor of their suburban village in the evening. With so many people conducting business in New York City, there has been a spike in demand for language services in Oyster Bay. With business coming more and more from China and the Middle East, Chinese, Mandarin and Arabic are among the 'hottest' languages currently being learned by residents of Oyster Bay.
