You will have one afternoon or evening excursion per week. This will be designed around your own interests. I can arrange for you to meet other business contacts or make contact with organisations and industries which are connected with your business.
We can go shopping or visit a market; go to see live music in a pub or go to the cinema; meet my friends and visit their homes; take the train to the beautiful city of Bath or go to a typical English country pub for drink.
Extra excursions are available on request and are charged separately, depending on destination and duration.
If you want to do business with another country, you will probably need to speak English to communicate with each other. This is true even if NEITHER of you are native English speakers.
Being able to speak in English to your foreign business contacts may increase your business opportunities.
A good command of English is an advantage if you want to get a promotion at work, find a new job, get a transfer to an overseas department, or want to go on foreign business trips.
With greater understanding of the British culture, you will be able to enjoy films, television and radio programmes, songs in the English language, as well as the famous ‘English sense of humour’!
You will have your own personal tutor who will be your guide to the language, the English rituals of politeness, as well as the culture and the city of Bristol. You can use your own business materials and practise making conference calls or having an interview.
