English is one of the most spoken languages in the world and no matter where in the world you find employment, you will encounter English-speaking customers. Especially for hotel staff, speaking in clear English is important because the way you communicate makes a big difference to how comfortable visitors feel.

Even if you are already employed in a hotel, but feel you lack fluency in English, you ought to consider taking English-speaking classes. When you learn English for promotion, you will find yourself more confident in communicating with guests as well as the hotel staff and this confidence will soon ensure you career advancement.

In this course we will cover key areas essential for hospitality and tourism staff:

1. Front Desk and Concierge Speak
2. Restaurant Vocabulary and Phrases
3. Bar English
4. Kitchen Must-know Words
5. Cleaning Staff Essential Vocabulary
