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 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.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of English, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these English lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One English Lessons or Small Group In-Company English Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in English can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.

St. Louis
Named after the King Louis IX of France, St. Louis is famed for multiple French influences on its fascinating local history. Equally highly regarded are the German influences on this independent city in the state of Missouri. Yet the international links held by St. Louis are not just consigned to the history books. An active cultural interaction with France and Germany is maintained through to the modern day by participation in the Sister Cities International program. Strong ties between St. Louis and Lyon in France, French-speaking Saint-Louis in Senegal and Stuttgart in Germany ensure that the bond of linguistic exchange isn't broken. As a result, St. Louis is a great spot to study a new language! Whether you are interested in Russian, Japanese, Indonesian, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Hebrew or a variety of other interesting international languages, you needn't to go any further than St. Louis!
