Question 1

I’ve taken courses before and got no results. What makes yours different?

Accepted Answer

Classic courses are 80% structure, 20% speaking. Ours is the opposite: 80% speaking, 20% structure. You choose your tutor, and you can switch if it’s not a fit. Try the level assessment — see the difference in the first 25 minutes, not just hear about it.

Question 2

I couldn’t stick with self-study before. How will online lessons be different?

Accepted Answer

The difference between an app and a 1-on-1 lesson is discipline. Here you have a scheduled lesson with a live tutor; knowing they’ll be waiting if you don’t show up keeps you accountable. Our 92% satisfaction rate reflects that.

Question 3

My industry is quite niche. Will your curriculum fit it?

Accepted Answer

We have 7+ sector curricula ready: engineering, finance, sales, tech, healthcare, law, logistics. If your field is more niche, we’ll guide your tutor accordingly during the level assessment, and later lessons include scenarios written specifically for your job.

Question 4

I know English but I can’t speak up in work meetings. Is this program right for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This program is designed specifically for professionals who say “I know English but I can’t speak it.” Instead of general English, it focuses on real work scenarios: speaking up in meetings, defending an idea, presenting, handling Q&A, and business correspondence. The goal at Flalingo isn’t just learning words or grammar — it’s helping you use the English you already know faster, more naturally, and more confidently at work.

Question 5

I’ve taken English courses before but my speaking never improved. What’s different at Flalingo?

Accepted Answer

Classic courses usually emphasize grammar, reading, and general topics. But what you actually need at work is to respond quickly, participate in meetings, present, and use the right professional phrases at the right moment. Flalingo’s lessons are built around speaking practice, sector-specific scenarios, and tutor feedback — so instead of just “taking lessons,” you practice the English you’ll actually use at work.

Question 6

Can the lessons relate to my industry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Business English lessons can be shaped around your industry and goals. You can practice scenarios across engineering, tech, finance, sales, marketing, law, healthcare, and logistics. For example: technical presentations and project updates in engineering, client meetings and negotiation in sales, reporting and audit language in finance, or sprint planning and demos in tech.

Question 7

I’m at A2 or B1 level. Is it too early for Business English?

Accepted Answer

No, it’s not too early. For an A2–B1 learner, Business English starts with more basic, controlled scenarios — introducing yourself, simple meeting phrases, short emails, job titles, departments, and everyday office communication. As your level rises, you move on to presentations, negotiation, client meetings, and more complex meeting practice.

Question 8

I’m at B2 but I still can’t speak fluently in meetings. Is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that’s quite normal. Being at B2 doesn’t automatically mean you’ll feel comfortable and quick in every work setting. Many people are strong at reading and listening but struggle to respond on the spot or defend an idea in a meeting. That’s why at Flalingo, alongside your level, we work on speaking reflexes, professional phrasing, sector vocabulary, and real work scenarios.

Question 9

I struggle to speak up in meetings. Is there specific practice for that?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meeting English is one of the most important parts of the Business English program. Lessons can include phrases for joining a discussion, expressing an opinion, disagreeing, asking questions, interrupting politely, and steering the conversation back on track. Phrases like “I’d like to add something here,” “Can I jump in?” or “From my perspective…” aren’t just memorized — you build them into reflexes through real meeting scenarios.

Question 10

I can present, but I fall apart during Q&A. Can I get support for that?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many professionals feel more comfortable presenting because they can prepare in advance, but spontaneous answers in Q&A can be challenging. At Flalingo you can practice post-presentation Q&A, follow-up questions, and handling unexpected questions. The goal is to move beyond memorized presentation lines and respond calmly and professionally to questions you didn’t prepare for.

Question 11

Will I work with a native-speaking tutor?

Accepted Answer

At Flalingo you can be matched with different tutor profiles based on your needs. For intermediate and advanced professionals, practicing with native tutors can help with accents and more natural expression. For beginner or intermediate levels, tutors who can explain things more clearly may be preferred instead. What matters isn’t just whether the tutor is native — it’s whether they fit your goals and industry.

Question 12

Can I choose or change my tutor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tutor fit matters a lot, especially in 1-on-1 online lessons. That’s why Flalingo aims to match you with tutors suited to your level, goals, and industry. If your working style doesn’t click with a tutor, switching to a different one is an option. The goal is to work with a tutor who can genuinely get you speaking and move you toward your work goals.

Question 13

I waste a lot of time writing emails in English. Is there writing practice in the lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Business English covers professional writing as well as speaking. Lessons can include email tone, formal phrasing, making requests, sending follow-ups, sharing meeting summaries, and corresponding with clients. The goal is to help you write natural, clear, professional sentences faster — instead of translating every email word by word.

Question 14

Can I prepare for an English job interview or a LinkedIn recruiter call?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Business English program can be adapted for interview prep and recruiter conversations — topics like introducing yourself, describing your career background, highlighting your strengths, discussing salary expectations, and answering role-specific questions. This is especially useful for professionals applying to international companies or preparing to talk with global teams.

Question 15

Do Business English lessons only cover speaking?

Accepted Answer

No. Speaking is the main focus, but lessons can also include listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, and presentation skills as needed. These aren’t taught through generic English topics though — they’re planned around situations you’ll actually face at work, like understanding accented speakers, taking meeting notes, having a client call, or answering questions after a presentation.

Question 16

What happens during the level assessment?

Accepted Answer

The level assessment isn’t just a test. Its goal is to understand your current English level, how comfortable you are speaking, where you struggle, and your goals at work. Based on this conversation, we can define a more suitable lesson plan, tutor profile, and focus area — so instead of starting a random course, you get a clearer picture of what you actually need.

Question 17

How is Business English best learned?

Accepted Answer

The most effective way to learn Business English is to practice the language through real work scenarios. Memorizing words or studying grammar alone isn’t enough — you need to actively use English in situations like meetings, emails, presentations, interviews, and client calls. At Flalingo, Business English lessons are planned around speaking practice, professional vocabulary, written communication, presentation skills, and your industry’s needs — so what you learn transfers directly to your job.

Question 18

What is a Business English lesson?

Accepted Answer

A Business English lesson is training designed specifically for people who want to use English in a professional work setting. Unlike everyday English, it focuses on: speaking up in meetings, writing professional emails, presenting, preparing for job interviews, communicating with clients, negotiation language, reporting, and sector vocabulary. The goal of Flalingo’s Business English lessons isn’t just to improve your English knowledge — it’s to help you communicate more confidently, fluently, and professionally at work.

Question 19

Where should I start when learning English?

Accepted Answer

The first step in learning English is identifying your current level and your goal. Do you want everyday English, English for work, or are you preparing for an exam? The right learning plan depends on that goal. For someone starting out, the basics should include core sentence structures, professional vocabulary, simple business writing, and speaking practice. At Flalingo, your level and needs are analyzed first, then a suitable tutor and lesson plan are created for you.

Question 20

What’s the best way to learn Business English?

Accepted Answer

The best way to learn Business English is consistent practice through real work-life scenarios. Meeting simulations, email writing exercises, presentation practice, interview prep, and vocabulary work specific to your industry all speed up your progress. At Flalingo, you take live online lessons with expert tutors and practice real situations you’ll face at work — so what you learn doesn’t stay theoretical, it shows up directly in your professional communication.

Question 21

What are the fundamentals of Business English?

Accepted Answer

The fundamentals of Business English are professional communication skills: expressing yourself in meetings, writing emails in the right tone, presenting, talking with clients, preparing for job interviews, and using sector vocabulary correctly. For someone starting Business English at a beginner level, the priority topics are: professional greetings, introducing yourself, simple email templates, meeting phrases, job titles, department names, role descriptions, and core industry vocabulary. Flalingo’s Business English program builds these fundamentals around each learner’s real work needs.

Question 22

I’m not available before 9 PM.

Accepted Answer

Our core lesson hours are 7 PM–11 PM, with a busy weekend schedule too. With the mobile app you can join from the subway, the office, or home — wherever works for you.

Question 23

I have a busy schedule. Can I take lessons in the evening or on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is exactly why flexible scheduling matters — most professionals need to take lessons after work or on weekends. At Flalingo, your lesson plan is built around your availability. Evening hours, weekends, or shorter lesson options let you keep up regular practice without disrupting your work rhythm.

Question 24

How long does it take to learn Business English?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your current level, your goal, how often you take lessons, and how consistently you practice. Simple business writing and basic meeting phrases can improve fairly quickly; speaking actively in meetings, presenting, negotiating, or communicating comfortably with global teams takes more consistent work. At Flalingo, your level and goal are identified first, then a Business English plan is built for you — so it’s much clearer what you actually need to work on.

Question 25

How long does it take to become fluent in Business English?

Accepted Answer

The time it takes depends on your current English level, your weekly study routine, how often you practice speaking, and your goal. Writing work emails and joining simple meetings can improve relatively quickly. But speaking actively in meetings, presenting, negotiating, or communicating professionally with global teams requires a consistent, goal-driven learning process. At Flalingo, Business English training is personalized to your level and career goals — so instead of studying general English, you focus directly on the skills you’ll use at work.

Question 26

Can my company pay from its training budget?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Even if you sign up individually, it’s entirely possible for your company to cover it from its training budget. In that case, options like a corporate invoice or a proposal document you can share with your manager can be arranged. Especially at companies with a professional development budget, Business English training can support your internal performance alongside your personal career goals.

Question 27

How exactly does Flalingo Business English benefit me?

Accepted Answer

Flalingo Business English focuses on turning your general English knowledge into something you can actually use at work. It helps you practice speaking up in meetings, presenting, writing emails, talking with clients, preparing for interviews, and using sector terms correctly. In short, the goal isn’t just learning English — it’s using English more comfortably, professionally, and confidently in your career.
