"Taking this class was a great experience. There were a few words that I was pronouncing right in my mind, but actually I was way off from the real pronunciation.

You aren't sure what it is about your pronunciation that keeps people asking you to repeat yourself. Maybe you know you don't say 'th' or 'r' exactly like Americans, but you know there is more to it, and you want help figuring out what it is and how to make it better. (more)
Most people realize they don't understand the use of pitch (called intonation) when everyone around them laughs at a subtle joke that they never even know occurred.

You keep more formal emails safe, short, and simple as well, even if they are not as friendly sounding as you would like. (more)
You've got pretty good English. You can get your ideas across pretty well. But you know you are using simple, short sentences. You don't know how to say exactly what you want to say, but you can get close. But sometimes you don't know if a word should have "to" before it, or if it should end in "ed", or in "ing". For example, "Mary saw John looking out the window," but "Mary stopped John to ask him a question," and "Mary hoped John wanted cake for dessert," (more)
The business world if filled with meetings. Whether you are in charge during the meetings or if you just need to attend them, this is a helpful class for the non-native English speaker. If you are conducting the meeting, how do you break free from your notes and slideshow, look up, and encourage participation from everyone? If you are attending a meeting, how do you politely cut into a dialogue to make you ideas heard? (more)
Once the "send" button is hit, there is no going back. Email is one of the easiest ways to hurt feelings and anger our coworkers. How do we remind someone of that important deadline in a friendly fashion? How do we follow up with a person we haven't seen in a long time, or have never met? (more)
