Trenger å friske opp/lære engelsk

...

Tja, hva med å invitere til en engelsk- talende lunsj? 😀 Det er jo en fin måte å komme litt i gang på hvertfall.

Flere på jobben min har gått kurs hos kjenn europa, da på fransk-kurset og et av de andre kursene, men de har vært godt fornøyd med kursholder og standard. Men det blir kanskje litt overkill?

You could even make it a fancy dinner. Just say when.

Your library might have some language tools or other ideas, have you been there latley?

Min erfaring med å bruke engelsk i jobbsammenheng er at det er så mange ord man ikke har inne. Heldigvis har jeg erfart at det fort blir bedre og at de fleste uansett synes at vi nordmenn er veldig gode i engelsk.

Engelsk-talende lunsj, I am in!

If the palmtree is in, then I'm in too. Fancy dinner it is. 😀 Will there be wine?

Hmm. Pussig at denne lå øverst her akkurat når jeg ble bedt om å undervise i engelsk neste år. Jeg føler engelsken min er rusten etter lang tids fravær og fikk litt angst. Men det går vel bra.

I suggest that you go to the library and find some novels you want to read, and then go home and read them. Much more fun that those language learning materials.

It might also be useful to read English texts out loud, just to get the hang of the pronunciation. Fancy dinners with English-speaking friends too, but I have always felt that it is more easy to talk English with non-Norwegian people.

I am so in on an English speaking dinner or lunch.

Start reading nice literature to get going on the grammar and every day language. If you like nice chick lit start reading the Modern Witch series, it is fun and romantic and an easy read.

Rachel's holiday by Marian Keys is nice too.

Jeg pleier lese engelske bøker, og føler det hjelper. Jeg snakker mye engelsk i jobbsammenheng og merker at jeg mangler litt høflighetsfraser og sånt, men det blir altså bedre av å lese bøker.

I´ll be there with bells on

Husker at jeg ble overrasket over at engelsken min plutselig var så mye bedre etter en preiode uten tv, jeg hadde nemlig hatt radioen på på kveldstid, med BBC 🙂 Veldig fine engelsk-engelsk, og en del av programmene kan sikkert ligge opp mot business-tematikk.

You could also try my approach: Make sure your field of business is so limited that you not only can speak Norwegian all the time - you also never have to introduce yourself. If they haven't heard of you already, they're not important enough to waste time explaining.

I'm really writing this just to make sure I will be invited if there's actually a party coming.

And I think a bit of bubbly would be perfect to put us all in the mood for some outlandish babble 😀
Or maybe even PIMMS?

However - if you come across these guys, please do not take their advice.

M-second. If you hand over the bubbles to me, I will be happy to show my impressing German skills.

(I tried to speak German at a gas-station in Germany. They felt so sorry for me they automatically switched to English.)

I can't wait for this party! Oh, and Pamina, did you read the modern witch books? They are so much fun!

I love, love, love the Modern witch books. A new one is supposed to come out in June!

Yep, the modern witch books, and the Witches on parole books too (also very good), while waiting rather much for this June-book to arrive. I even befriended the author on Face Book to see if I could get the date. My Kindle is armed and ready to recieve.
