(Vocabulary key: mix and match)

Here at LbT-languages, we are proud to be offering, from this month onward, special courses that include not only standard English language training as you already know from LbT-languages but also intercultural aspects pertaining to the entire Asian market. These are English business courses with the main focus on Asia, specially designed for people doing business with Asia, or wanting to do so. For this purpose we have succeeded in securing the services of an excellent new teacher. She is Sarah (Pin Pin) Khoo-Taylor, a Chinese-Malaysian native English speaker.

Sarah comes to us from Bangkok, Thailand, where she most recently worked as International Trading Manager for a large company. Prior to this, Sarah worked in Malaysia and Indonesia. She speaks 6 different languages, including most of the major Asian ones like Malay, Indonesian, three different Chinese dialects and Thai. She has lived and worked in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Timor and has been active as a volunteer in Canada and Australia. She holds a Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Leicester University in England.

The exclusive and sophisticated Asian business courses are for 1-3 participants only and there is plenty of demand. So book now to avoid disappointment! Sarah looks forward to meeting you here in Munich and to introducing you to her fascinating and varied culture.
