Who should take this course?

Please do not enroll if you only have a basic knowledge of English. If you don't understand this description, you will not understand the lectures.

This is a course for ESL speakers with intermediate to upper-intermediate English (CEF – A2 to B2). If you are at an advanced level (C1 to C2), but you have trouble with emails, you will find this useful too.

Secondly, this is a general course giving you tips and strategies to help you improve your business emails. These might be asking for information, writing to a client, or answering an email from your boss. Also, you will not get lots of sample emails in this course, but you do get lots of quizzes and exercises to help you practice what I teach.

Go to the top of the page and enroll today; you could be taking your first step towards a better job and/or more money.
