Professional Phone Calls in English

Training for Everyday Work

At Simmonds Language Services, we have been training exactly these situations since 2004. Our English for Phone Calls is designed for professionals who need to make English phone calls in their daily work – from reception and customer service to senior management. You learn not just standard phrases but practise in realistic role-plays with native-speaking trainers from the UK and USA. We work on your pronunciation, your listening comprehension, and your confidence on the phone. Because on the phone, body language is absent – your voice and word choice must be all the more convincing.

Blended Learning with AI Avatar

Your trainer works with you on real phone situations during live sessions and gives personal feedback on grammar, pronunciation and conversation management. Between sessions, you can continue practising scenarios from customer enquiries to complaints with the AI avatar.

Cultural Phone Etiquette

Particularly important when phoning: cultural differences. In English, small talk at the start of a call is not just polite – it is expected. An abrupt 'I need to speak to Mr Schmidt' without a greeting comes across as rude. We train you in the cultural subtleties of English-speaking phone etiquette – so that you come across as confident not just linguistically but culturally too. Whether British courtesy phrases or the more direct American style: you learn to express yourself appropriately in every context.
