Giving a presentation can be a daunting task in one's own language, I am therefore especially impressed when I hear someone doing it in a second language.
Special challenges come into play, not least the matter of idiom. Business speak can sound daft enough but misplaced blue sky thinking and envelopes being pushed into the wrong part of a sentence can test us all.
Of course clarity of speech is appreciated whatever the language. Edinburgh ESL is a new business designed to help busy people develop their English skills where English is a second language. Courses are offered online via video conferencing for busy executives.
By working online we remove flight uncertainties and environmental impacts and we create workable one-to-one teaching relationships.
