Solution:
I coach you in all areas of communication and socio-cultural competence in individual and group training. The actual value of “life skills” lies in its adaptability and relevance for various life situations – for successful application and job interviews, more career success and better relationships with colleagues, partners, and clients.
Employees, who can communicate well with their colleagues, with those outside of the company and can cross the language barrier can measurably contribute to the success of an organization.
Employees with strong language and subject area expertise can persuade others, present themselves well and will have doors open to them. The globalized business world, top jobs are only offered to those with strong interpersonal, intercultural and psychosocial skills. Studies have shown that social competence is in more demand than subject area expertise.

This training gives you everything you need to improve your English pronunciation and English speaking!
Focus Areas:
- Word stress
Are you using emphasis and rhythm in English correctly?
- Vowel length
In English we have long vowels, short vowels and double vowels and many non-native speakers don’t distinguish between these correctly. For example, the words ‘coat’, ‘cot’ and ‘caught’ should each sound different. Do you know which one has the short vowel, long vowel and double vowel and are you confident with these?
- Moving and opening your mouth
English has more open sounds than many other languages. We need to open our mouth and jaw to pronounce many sounds like /o/, /a:/, /ou/ etc. clearly. If you don’t, you’ll sound like you’re mumbling. Are you using good mouth movements for clear English?
- Rate of speaking (speed)
Some non-native speakers speak English too fast. When you speak English very fast, it is likely your pronunciation and clarity will become worse. Often people’s word stress gets flatter, they might drop sounds and
their vowels get shorter. Are you using a good rate of speaking in English?
- Word endings
The ends of words in English are very important. It’s often where we mark grammar like the past tense, plurals etc.
Are you using past tense endings correctly?
This is SO important in English!
