English conversation in Gandia

A TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CHURCH WITH LYCHGATE (SHERE IN SURREY)

Do you want to practice English conversation in Gandia?

If you do then contact us at Access English – where we provide English conversation classes for all levels of English.  In particular, we concentrate upon preparing students for their English language examinations, whether B1, B2 or C1 or their equivalent at the Escuela Oficial de Gandia.

Of course, for most people the most difficult part of leaning a language is the ‘listening and speaking’ part and this is something that it is difficult to study on your own – as it relies upon interaction with English (preferably native) speakers.

Certainly, we find that one of the most common reasons for failure in English language examinations is that students simply do not get enough ‘live’ English language conversation to make them effective.  The consequence is that whilst many students have a reasonably good grasp of English (and can understand most of what is said to them) they do not get all the details and are often slow responding.  They need to think of an answer in Spanish and then translate it into English – resulting in replies that are inadequate.

In reality, there is no shortcut to ‘listening and speaking’ English well.  Indeed, usually exact and meticulous preparation for the ‘listening and speaking’ part of an examination is necessary and this can be best done through our classes of English conversation in Gandia. With these – we can help you to be successful and pass your examinations.

On the subject of English conversation, you may like to have a look at this: the hidden language of English, which is both fun and also truer than you might at first think!

In fact, English (probably like Spanish) is a complicated language once spoken in the company of natives.  This is because often the British do not necessarily say what they are really thinking.  Super-polite, we often infer things – rather than say something directly.  This is often the case during a crisis or when we British wish to refuse to do something.

This can be exasperating for foreigners and can cause all types of misunderstandings.  Whilst these may not be important much of the time, understanding the underlying meaning of what a Briton wants in a business situation can be vital and the difference between getting a job or contract – or not!

Incidentally, if you want to know more about getting work in the UK or the English speaking world then have a look at this article about how to prepare yourself for interviews for work in the UK.  As you will see, not only does your English have to be good, you must also practice the answers to specific questions!
