Beyond the internet

Using online resources is a great way to start learning Business English, but nothing can beat the real thing. Living and learning in a country that speaks the language you want to learn will teach you not only the language but the culture. This can be really important in business situations when you are trying to build trust.  Invest in an “English for business” course at a language school. Such lessons offer more than just resources, you will be taught by native speakers that know the business world and you can practice your skills by role-playing with other students or giving presentations. You might even meet useful business contacts for your future.
