Learn English And Improve Your Written Skills

If you want to improve your English you need to use every opportunity to apply business writing skills when sending e-mails or casual office memos, and even when sending a text. Remember that every correspondence sent should imply a sense of business etiquette.

Be pro-active by taking a course in business writing. A number of websites offer online podcasts and classes focusing on business writing. We offer real time English lessons on Skype or by telephone with native speakers of English who can go over your business correspondence with you and correct your work. This e-learning service is invaluable for business professionals needing to improve their English skills.

Always keep your audience (the reader) in mind when writing a memo, business letter or proposal. As you compose your thoughts remember to ask what the reader wants to hear. Does the reader want to know the back story about your business, how it operates, or is s/he likely to prefer reading about facts and figures instead? In English – simple is best! Keep your message clear and use simple words which are comprehensible and give a clear message.

Check and recheck your written work. Relying on a Spell Check to catch misspellings is foolish. Spell Check cannot detect homonym misuse, and it won’t catch all mistakes in punctuation.

Be mindful of the emails you send. E-mails are commonly used in the workplace: keep them short but meaningful, with concise or pertinent information, and accurate contact information.

Do not use informal or conversational language or phrases when writing an e-mail. Be professional tone and use a professional format.

Remember that if you become a member of ‘The English Skype Room’ you can have a proof-reading service at your finger tips every month. A great safety net!
