Business-oriented
I need someone who will listen to and
correct my speech.
My low command of English spoils a
presentation that I’ve prepared very well
The negotiations will be in English
I’d like to feel more comfortable and confident when
writing mails.
I have to take my American clients to
dinner and I’d like to be able to talk to them
easily.
I lack vocabulary to express myself with
absolute confidence and assurance.
Useful and Effective
It would be helpful to prepare and make this journey with
someone who can assist me in everything related to
communication in English, and who understands business terms.
I need more fluency when I
speak by phoneI’d like to
understand the user’s guide of the
new machine.
I hope that an ignorance of cross-
cultural issues does not reduce our opportunities
