About theEnglishWeb.com

More people use English as an "international language", to communicate with their bosses, clients and colleagues around the world, than they do to communicate with native English speakers. Since 2005, theEnglishWeb.com has focused on giving practical advice for using English as a workplace language. As language and culture are closely linked, there are also culture tips for doing business with English speakers.

My dream is to create an online community of business professionals from around the world who use English as a workplace language. What is difficult about using English? What should people know if they want to do business in your culture? Please share your insights: together we can create an invaluable resource for everyone who needs to do business in English.

About Clare Whitmell

Travelling and working outside my native UK has given me a passion for language and communication. I speak Italian and French fluently, and have also tried (without much success) to learn Cantonese, Arabic and Dutch. I have over 10 years’ experience teaching English, both online and in traditional classrooms.
