What is Native English?
Native English teaches you to speak English fluently - like a native.
Standard North American English is a necessity in business today. Like
it or not we are judged by the quality of our speech. Our effectiveness
as a leader depends upon our language skill. We must be able to
convey meaning accurately. Our power is eroded when our
communication is flawed. It is a weakness. Words are powerful and to
be powerful we must use the right words in the right way.

Native’s Special Niche
Surely the executives and professionals reading this have taken the
English classes, learned to read and do the grammar exercises in
books and had a bit of conversation. Is there still a gap between
where you are and where you need to be?

The Importance of English as
an International Language to
Brazil
As the largest country in South America, Brazil is
big on business. Its geographical proximity to the
United States, as well as its trade agreement with
North America makes speaking English and
mastering the language critical for Brazilian
companies who are or aspire to be leaders in the
global arena.
11. Native English
True Professional Level Effectiveness
Although Brazilians may learn English in schools, the level of
proficiency attained is not nearly adequate. While many adult
professionals may gain language training at a private institute again,
there can be only limited effectiveness and often the teachers, even if
native speakers are not adequately trained to bring a speaker up to
the level needed.

The Importance of Immersion in an English
Environment
www.nativeenglish.us
Native Enterprises, LLC
Also one really needs to use English
throughout the day, and in this
method, life continues as usual in the
Native language, not English, outside
of classes. It is best to be in an English
speaking country, forcing you to use
the target language.
13. Native English
The Importance of English as an
International Language to Brazil
Brazilian professionals must also compete with Europeans for high
level positions. Europeans, who have access to better English
language training, often attain and occupy the best positions in
Brazilian companies.

How Brazilian Ranks Internationally
Affects Business Development

proficiency.

speakers compared to the leaders of other countries in the world.

“I had a problem managing an American sales team. They just would
not do as I asked and would interrupt me and not listen. I learned
English from Suzannah, but I also learned the American ways of
communication and business styles. My style was just all wrong and
my beliefs about what they would respond to and how to behave with
them was all wrong. This is much better now.” – Chinese Sales

if I tried to say something more severe they would just launch or
smile, or ignore me. If found Americans so hard to deal. Now I know
what I was doing and how I was saying things was sending all the
wrong message. It was hard to correct because I had to change my
