English teachers and tutors around the world are using Speak Business English Like an American with their adult learners
"Speaking Business English Like An American is an excellent resource for those ESL students wanting to learn common business idioms used in real-world settings. I highly recommend this practical, up-to-date text for use in-class and for self-study." — R. B. Stirling, American Language Program, University of Connecticut
"I am a teacher using your book Speak Business English Like an American and would like to tell you that my students and I are having a great time. The idioms and expressions are great as well as the dialogues. Thank you for publishing this great learning tool!"
— S. Chiew, Saitama, Japan
"Although many of the idioms and expressions Ms. Gillett brings to the page are
typical in non-business usage, the huge number of idioms and expressions related
to American business English (as opposed to British business English--in some
cases they are quite different!) is an asset to any student of this subject. Learning new idioms and expressions is made simple by an easy-to-read dialog that demonstrates (and can be used with a partner) the usage of each idiom, and then is followed by self- or partnered-checking and review. The accompanying CD clarifies pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation ... I highly recommend this text to all — native or non-native speakers of English — who want to fast-track themselves into usage of the American business vernacular ... My qualifications to review this book? I teach this subject, among others, at UCSC Extension."
