Writing professional emails is very different from writing an email to a friend. A professional email should always have a professional tone, structure and should be clear and concise. Here are a few things to remember:

If you begin to work in an American company with native speakers, you may notice that your coworkers use more casual English outside of the office, but use more professional words while in the office and in typed emails. As you practice and get to know these words you’ll know intuitively when to switch from casual to professional language.

Have you ever been completely stumped on an interview question and the person asking is waiting patiently for a response? Or have you experienced that moment in an interview when you can tell you are doing really well and have a good chance of getting the offer? Have you had the feeling you will never hear from the employer again? If English is your second language you may wonder if you’ve pronounced every word correctly or if you used the right grammar tense. If so, I’ve created these resources with you in mind.

Do phrasal verbs confuse you? Well, you’re not alone. Most English students have a hard time with them but if you want to be fluent and speak like a native, you’ll have to learn how to use phrasal verbs. You’ll hear phrasal verbs in your favorite song lyrics, movies and in books. Another place you’ll definitely hear phrasal verbs is in the workplace.
