Why this course
for Arabic Speakers?

The Arabic culture has traditionally been an oral communication culture. This means that the information is shared verbally. That makes our Arab friends some of the greatest conversation partners in the world. Having strong communication skills is great for work-related situations like relationship building, negotiation, presentations, etc.. 

These sessions are meant to raise awareness on the difference between the spoken and written registers in English. We generally advice everyone to avoid plastic formulas, and to find the right balance to convey the message in a natural but professional manner. 

What's included in this online course?

We give you the WHAT, but also the WHY and the HOW 
 in a modern, high-tech and almost personalized manner.
We're here to help you grow your skills and confidence so you develop as a professional and as a person.
