English courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn English to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in English, as well as survival English should a short stay in the country be needed.

Baltimore
An independent city in Maryland State, the city of Baltimore is home to around 650,000 people and was the second city in the USA (after New York) to reach 100,000 inhabitants. Baltimore is often referred to as a 'city of neighborhoods', thanks to the 300 or so individual districts that historically were inhabited by members of different ethnicities. Baltimore remains a multi-cultural society - the burgeoning Hispanic community adds to the rich mixture of African and Asian neighborhoods, meaning that Baltimore has plenty of scope to be a truly satisfying city for those wishing to pick up a foreign language.
