We optimise your business English

Our Business English Coaching is ideally suited for busy professionals and teams with a need for professional business English and who need to communicate appropriately beyond their existing English level.

We know that available time is precious and often scarce. Therefore Davies Business English, with the 'Personal Accelerated Learning' concept, has developed a way to convey the professional English which really helps you in an English-speaking business world - in the shortest time. We put you in the position to master speeches convincingly, conduct business meetings competently and give presentations with self confidence.

With Davies Business English you have a native speaker with many years of experience in Business English training. In addition to individual coaching, we also offer trainings for teams. We customise all content to your desired topics. Talk to us, together we will raise your Business English to a very professional level - personalised and efficient.

Why we are different

The Davies Business English learning concept goes far beyond that of conventional English courses. With us, you or your employees receive personal, intensive coaching. Thus successes are a lot faster. We do not give ordinary courses with standardised lessons.

We focus solely on efficient training of English for business purposes. You will benefit from the experience of a native speaker with a business background and you will not waste your time learning content which is not relevant.

Your coaching is planned with you right from the beginning with topics, grammar and vocabulary that meet your specific needs - exactly the English that you will use when you return to work.

Our coaching takes place in the ideal situation for you to concentrate on the language. This can be at your workplace, or for even better focus, on Mallorca away from the job. We prepare you for your short intensive training so that you know what to expect, and we follow up with regular updates so that you can continue to make progress even after the training.

Companies who have put their trust in us include...

Heatwave, drought, wildfire.

 

 

Everybody loves to talk about the weather. It’s considered a basic component of smalltalk. However, this week, in Europe, the topic is not such a small one. Of course, if you live in some parts of other continents, this has been a ‘hot topic’, pun intended, for some time.

Whatever your personal beliefs are on the topic of climate change and global warming, you don’t have to search the internet for long or listen to many world news reports before you see and hear stories of serious weather related events around the world. In Europe, the current heatwave has led to dramatic TV and newspaper reports of fires in Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Croatia and Türkiye and even in England...

Humans v Computers

 

Why work on improving your English when your computer can translate everything for you? In fact, with computer translations, do we even need to use English?

The technology for computerised simultaneous translation is well advanced now. We are able to speak into a machine in one language and the machine will complete the translation and speak for us in another language. As the technology gets better, there is a strong argument that English will no longer be needed as a common, global language or ‘lingua franca’.

However, there are still some problems with this solution. Firstly, we must have confidence in the translation software and its ability to translate a lot of languages - there are well over seven thousand languages...

Be specific

 

What’s the next thing you need to do in English? Do you have a meeting or video conference programmed? Perhaps you have to communicate with a colleague or colleagues in another country, in English. It would be a good idea to prepare for this.

What is the purpose of the meeting? Do you want to get information or give it? Or both? Whichever it is, your business communication will be more effective if you are specific with your questions and the information that you give.

It is quite common for people to ask vague questions such as:

‘How are things going with the suppliers?’

This might get the response:

‘Fine.’

Or:

‘The same as usual.’

But is that what you really want to know? If you want...

From words to phrases 2

 

Continuing from last week’s post on words that go together well, one of the areas of vocabulary that is often not very strong is the use of adjectives and adverbs. Firstly, let’s be clear what the difference is between the two as they are used in English. An adjective is used to modify (usually to describe) something or someone, whereas an adverb is used to modify (or give more information about) everything else - verbs, clauses, adjectives, other adverbs and adverbial phrases and give information about place, manner, time, circumstances, degree or cause.

Knowing this isn’t essential but it can help when choosing the right form. For example, ‘slow’ is an adjective and would describe something like a train -...

From words to phrases

 

A lot of clients have the initial objective of building their vocabulary because they often find themselves in a situation where they can’t ‘find the word they are looking for’. This breaks the fluency of their speech and can make them feel a little embarrassed. As we go forwards, we discover that this is not the whole problem. Simply learning more words does not help them as much as they had hoped because individual words on their own are not always that useful. We don’t just communicate in single words. Sometimes it happens, especially in informal situations such as ‘Coffee?’, which would probably mean ‘Would you like a cup of coffee?’ However, in business conversations it is usually necessary...
