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
