Business Conversation: Missteps of English Conversations

Improve your business English by avoiding common mistakes, confusing expressions, and cultural missteps.


This course focuses on common mistakes to avoid when communicating in English, so that you can communicate with greater ease, accuracy and professionalism.
Focusing on everyday situations (thank-yous, disagreements, phone calls, etc.), it helps you spot awkward or confusing expressions, as well as false friends and formulations likely to be misunderstood. The course also includes a cross-cultural dimension, essential for a better understanding of Anglo-Saxon social codes.
