5 Tips to Improve Your Confidence Speaking Business English.

1. Display some interest

You want to show that you are engaged while listening to others. Ask questions that will get others to talk. Show interest in the topic. It'll not be long so if the topic isn't interesting - it will not be long AANNDD... you can learn something new, look for that!

2. Use positive language.

Use positive words and phrases that will stir the conversation to a positive end. 

3. Use gestures to show understanding

Be a little bit like people from Italy - communicate with your body, let other people know that you are into what they are describing, try not to be dull and passive, right? :)

You can immediately apply the tips tomorrow and let me know how you'll liked them!

If you need assistance to become fear-less when communicating to colelagues, in meetings, during zooms calls or talking to clients - let me know what your challenges are.

I hold different meetings for different clients - read some of my class types. I'm sure you'll like some of it.

See you tomorrow.

色々と考えると迷いますが、実は北海道が良いかなと思っています。
北海道は、東京よりも涼しいですし、ドライブをしながら見る外の眺めは最高だと思います。はるか遠くに沈む夕日も見ることができそうです。
夏休みが楽しみです。夏休みのことを考えると、東京の混雑したラッシュアワーもがまんできます。
