Networking in English

Program

Introducing yourself and your organization

• What is the best way to introduce yourself and your organization? How do you start a conversation and what useful opening lines might you use?

English for different situations

• As in Dutch, you’ll have to deal with a range of conversational situations when speaking English. Learn to use a range of phrases and expressions for different settings, from conference dinners to pre-meeting chatter.

Fluency and pronunciation

• Pronunciation doesn’t need to be a barrier. Our Networking and small talk course will show you how to avoid common pronunciation mistakes. It also gives you tips on how to become more fluent and sound even better in English.

Cultural differences

• An awareness of the cultural differences between you and your business partner is a real help when doing international business. What’s the best way to handle cultural differences, and how do you avoid the pitfalls of polite communication in English?

Make small talk

• In our Networking and small talk course we’ll also cover the art of small talk. Dropping a joke into the conversation, enquiring about your business partner’s vacation plans or discussing the latest sports developments. And all of that in English!

Keep the conversation going

• Nothing is so annoying as a conversation that dries up due to a lack of language skills. What is the best way to keep the conversation going? What useful words and expressions can we use to manage a conversation and avoid awkward silences?
