2.0 out of 5 stars
Limited value,
By J Lee Harshbarger (Ypsilanti, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Speak Business English: A Guidebook for the Non-Native Speaker of English (Paperback)
I am an ESL teacher who bought this book for use in private lessons with a businessman who was in the USA temporarily. I was particularly attracted to the line on the front cover that says, "Enclosed cassettes let you hear business English as it is spoken in true-to-life situations." I consider that statement to be a flat-out lie. The cassette tapes have the most unnatural, scripted "conversations" that even my student recognized as being unnatural. As a way to be able to prepare oneself for business settings, the tapes are worth next to nothing.
I have given this book a generous rating of two stars because it does have some value for someone who can read well (the book has a lot of reading) and wants to familiarize themselves with some business terms in English, if all they've had is academic or regular classroom English. This is designed as a self-learning book, so it doesn't work well in a tutoring or classroom situation. Unfortunately, business books that don't focus on business writing are scarce in ESL, so there isn't much to choose from, thus some English learners may find some value in this.

A Difficult Way to Learn Business English,
By A Customer
This review is from: Let's Speak Business English: A Guidebook for the Non-Native Speaker of English (Paperback)
On the positive side, "Let's Speak Business English" is a concise phrasebook for the business English student. However, the language is often unnatural and the exercises provide very little practice for effectively learning the expressions.

We need books on CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Let's Speak Business English: A Guidebook for the Non-Native Speaker of English (Paperback)
We need this kind of stuff on CD and easy to use, for example: like American Accent Training. with track number in each CD we can do each exercise, again and again.
