[General] The best way to learn Business English

[Steff01]

Hi,

I have been using business english for around 9 years now and I'm still feeling that my English is bad . I can listen and read well, However my main issue is with writing and speaking (Especially when it comes to pick up the right word).

So Do you know any trusted source for learning business english even if it's paid ?.

Thanks in advance

Have you searched locally for someone specialising in teaching business English?

Hi .. Unfortunately I'm located at a non native speaking country so it will be little bit hard to find a good teachers . That's why I'm looking for a remote trusted teacher

There are usually more English teachers in a non-native speaking country than in an English-speaking country.

The problem is not of the quantity but the quality of the English teachers.
It is a big problem in Malaysia.

With good interent connection, it is plain easy to find a tutor for speaking sessions. Writing is very different, above all it includes structuring ideas in a new, sometimes opposite to your first language way. There are some really good books on business writing that you can do on your own. Once you can get the logic behind it, you can concentrate on the register and general flow. I am not saying that it's not possible to find a good on-line tutor to master writing but it's not that easy either, and a lot will still depend on your personal input.

You don't seem to believe in Google, do you? ;-)

What area of business are you in? One problem with much business English is that it is too general.

 

[Steff01]

Yeah. I don't trust google with general topics like this one

Hi Tdol,

Mainly writing and presentation part this is my top concerns

Remember to end every sentence with the appropriate punctuation mark.

Here a few tips:


1 - Draft emails using Business English, and ask a native English speaker to review them and give you feedback.
2 - Find a native English speaker to practice common conversations that happen in the workplace using Business English.
3 - Go through a Business English dictionary to learn idioms that are commonly used in the workplace.
