Six scenarios, specialist terms, James in his own words – in 100 seconds.
Transcript
We need to talk about magical thinking because magical thinking is actually going to stop you from learning. Business English for your finance teams, investor presentations, compliance and contract negotiations, live training with native-speaking trainers online since 2004. Hi, my name is James Simmonds and I'm an English teacher based in Germany with over 20 years of experience.
Investor presentations, compliance communication, international team communication, due diligence and audits, financial presentations, contract negotiations, six scenarios with your specialist vocabulary KYC, AML, MiFID II, term sheet cap table due diligence, precise English for regulatory conversations and investor relations, individual assessment, tailored content, online training that fits your working day. But osmosis or soaking in a warm bath with English dialogue with the subtitles on isn't going to help you present the latest figures to your multinational team on Monday morning. So to start with, we need to differentiate between passive understanding and active learning.
Live online training for 90 euros for 90 minutes. The brain is not a sponge, it's a muscle, and it needs exercising. Start with your free needs analysis at Simmonds.
