Overview

What this course is

This course is neither exam preparation nor grammar teaching: it follows SITUATIONS. Each lesson sets up a real work scene, gives you a model dialogue, then extracts a set of reusable phrases — always at two levels of formality at least, because the same thing said to a colleague and to a client are two different sentences. Two situations get a chapter to themselves because learners find them hardest: SAYING NO and GIVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. Both require softening, and softening in English has its own structures rather than a translation of the Vietnamese way of going round the point.
