Customer comments on this selection.
 Limited value
I am an ESL teacher who bought this book for use in private lessons with a businessman who was in the USA temporarily. I was particularly attracted to the line on the front cover that says, "Enclosed cassettes let you hear business English as it is spoken in true-to-life situations." I consider that statement to be a flat-out lie. The cassette tapes have the most unnatural, scripted "conversations" that even my student recognized as being unnatural. As a way to be able to prepare oneself for business settings, the tapes are worth next to nothing.
I have given this book a generous rating of two stars because it does have some value for someone who can read well (the book has a lot of reading) and wants to familiarize themselves with some business terms in English, if all they've had is academic or regular classroom English.
This is designed as a self-learning book, so it doesn't work well in a tutoring or classroom situation. Unfortunately, business books that don't focus on business writing are scarce in ESL, so there isn't much to choose from, thus some English learners may find some value in this.
 Let's Speak Business English
I feel that this book is very well written, and covers the basic information that would be valuable to any non English speaking
person.
 We need books on CD
We need this kind of stuff on CD and easy to use, for example: like American Accent Training. with track number in each CD we can do each exercise, again and again.
A Difficult Way to Learn Business English
On the positive side, "Let's Speak Business English" is a concise phrasebook for the business English student. However, the language is often unnatural and the exercises provide very little practice for effectively learning the expressions.
the best bool for non-native learners
if you wanna learn some situations about the english language, this is the best book. It has a lot of cases where you get it help. You can solve your doubts reading this great book.
