these terms, you’ll be better equipped to communicate
effectively in a professional setting.

Here are 10 ways to take your professional English
to the next level.
Challenges &
Problems faced by
Professional
English Learners
Pronunciatio
n
One of the biggest problems faced by
English learners is pronunciation. This is
because English is different than your
native language. You must learn how to
form the pronunciations in a proper way.
This is not always easy to do. Sometimes,
you must repeat the words several times
before you can pronounce the words
correctly. This involves adjusting the
insides of your mouth to form the English
pronunciation.
Understanding
English
It can be difficult to understand English
spoken by a non-native English speaker.
Nuanced English impedes understanding.
When non-native speakers of English
converse with one another, it is done so with
an accent that makes learning more difficult.
If one Vocational ESL student speaks to
another with a heavy accent, understanding
may be difficult. This is particularly harmful in
global businesses. While an international
citizen may speak English, it does not mean
that their communication is clearly
understood.
Slang and
Colloquialisms
Casual, informal language is the English of the
people. Many words have been added to the
English language and even used in formal settings.
“You good?” is one example. When someone asks
this question, they are not necessarily referring to
a person’s state of being, but rather whether their
situation is okay. The petitioner wants to know if
they are in good standing.
Practicing
English
Lacking the ability to practice with
someone can make learning English
difficult. Many Vocational ESL learners
say they don’t have anyone to practice
with. This is particularly true if they are
learning online and have no family
members or friends who speak English.
Grammar
Many English learners find grammar complex
and difficult. They recount the many hours in
the classroom learning and reciting
grammatical rules and vocabulary. Even
Americans find grammar challenging, so, it’s
no surprise that foreigners find the studies of
American English difficult. In the English
language, there are multiple verb tenses.
Speech Pace
Americans speak too fast. Many students
lament how they are unable to understand
everything someone says because of the
speed at which it was spoken. Asking the
speaker to slow down would be the
solution. However, many learners are
afraid to speak up for fear that they will be
thought of as ignorant.
What is the Solution?
With disciplined study,
conversation practice, reading, writing,
and growing your vocabulary, English
mastery is possible. Despite all the
complexities of the English language,
people all over the world are reading,
writing, listening to podcasts, watching
videos, and studying vocabulary to
speak fluent English. While this is
admirable, students don’t have to go on
the journey alone.
CONCLUSION
Before you go and work on your
professional English, remember that
the best way to improve it is to use it.
So don’t be afraid to speak at
meetings. Don’t worry too much
about mistakes in your emails. Use
the best professional English you
have at the moment. That’s enough.
But of course, work at it, practice it,
and study it, so you can advance
your career, do business, and, most
importantly, get rich!
