As language learners communicate more and more ...
As language learners communicate more and more in English, tone is often the last thing people learn yet arguably the most important._x000D_

When you write an email or even a text message, how aware are you of your tone? Is it aggressive? Desperate? Polite? Impolite? Too polite? Too casual? Too formal? And what about your tone when you're speaking?_x000D_

How should you change your tone depending on if you're communicating with your boss, colleagues, clients, or in daily life? The thing about tone is that it's not really taught or learned in most schools or graded in exams. And yet, it is paramount to conversation, showing our personalities, and creating trust._x000D_

In this club, David, an experienced business English trainer and etiquette coach, will be your guide as we learn about, discuss, and practise the art of tone in English communication. The truth is that even second-language speakers with excellent English vocabulary often use a tone that inadvertently offends or makes them seem untrustworthy or impolite. This is not done on purpose but sadly it can destroy conversation and stop you from building the relationships that will further your career, your social life, or even your happiness. Let's have a meaningful, enlightening and door-opening workshop!_x000D_
