What You'll LearnCourse Goals
With diligence and practice, as well as knowing your purpose for fluency, a carefully crafted conversational packet can be designed for you where language can come more easily to you and suit your specific needs.
Converse with ease
Saying “No”, is different in different languages and can be received and heard differently. Understanding how to refuse politely can be the difference of a business contract and the loss of it.
Cultural communication
English is spoken, but sometimes what is left unsaid has more meaning than most learners are aware of. That is the very explanation of subtext. Subtext conveys nuance that most native speakers can recognize easily, however, when sensitivity to tone is not enough, understanding key phrases that commonly carry different hidden meanings is the key to navigating an english-speaking life without over or under-stepping your role.
