International Business English Tips

Business English is not only a language but also a type of international culture.  It’s a kind of world culture you need to understand if you want to seriously succeed in the world of International business.

International Business English is basically the way the world communicates when doing business.  Grammar and showing off with high level vocabulary is not necessary.  The most important part of this world is understanding how to relate to people and make your point short and clear to other people.  Business English is about getting the job done and it’s not about anything else.  Understanding others and being understood is the whole key.

One interesting tip that you might not have thought of is that using a simpler version of English might actually be better than a more advanced one.  You should of course learn all the advanced stuff yourself, but don’t forget that you will be dealing a lot with other people who don’t speak English well.  Even if your English is perfect, you need to take into account the level of English that other people have.  If you write or speak at a higher level than they can understand, you are wasting your time, their time, and most importantly, losing the business deal.

International Business English is a high level yet simple form of communication.  It’s direct, polite, and to the point.
