Business English: Why It's Different from Regular English
Business English isn't just "good English" — it's a whole genre with its own rules, conventions, and vocabulary.
What does business English cover?
Writing professional emails, running international meetings, presenting to foreign clients, negotiating, and writing proposals and reports.
The common mistakes Israelis make
Israelis tend to be too direct — what works in Hebrew reads as blunt in English business correspondence. "Send me the report" sounds terse; "Could you please send me the report?" sounds professional.
Who should learn it?
Anyone at a company with international ties, anyone building a career in high-tech, and anyone who handles English email routinely.
At Bright Stars English we run business English courses for adults.
