Hi! I'm teaching English to young learners. Now I've been asked (and I would like that a lot) to have conversation classes with adults.

I've gone for Business result ( just the student book and CD for the moment) and English grammar in use. I've also ordered Communication games to jog my memory and give me...

Hi, Yes, I'm in Vendée (not too taxing to guess that one !!)Are you planning to go freelance too ? If so, it would be good to share experiences.. I have recently heard good things about Business Basics and a new book that has just come out: Business result. Does anybody have any constructive comment...
