The English language is a unique blend of influences from across Europe. While it has its roots in the Germanic languages, it has as much in common with the modern Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. English is currently the international language of business and politics, a situation which evidently irks French president Jacques Chirac, who famously walked out of a talk given (in English) by a French business leader and was furious at suggestions that English should be a compulsory subject in French schools. The upshot of this is that hotels in London are full of French people over to learn English in London.

Any language teacher will tell you that necessity is the greatest inspiration for anyone looking to learn a new language. This is true for people learning English in London, learning French in Paris or learning Mandarin in Beijing. If, for example, you are preparing for an internship at the European Union, you will want a decent grasp of both English and French, not to mention passable Spanish. The best way to develop this language skills is to take a language course. Here are a selection of English courses in London:

Business

If you want to study English London has a fantastic array of business English courses to suit all levels of learner. Some people come over specifically to take professional English courses in London, while many others will be posted to the London office of their multinational companies and will recognise a need to work on their linguistic abilities after arriving.

Pleasure

London is one of the planet's great tourist destinations. Anyone who takes an English course in London should also take the opportunity to explore this fantastic city which is home to such iconic landmarks as Nelson's Column, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Tower of London.

College

Britain has a number of the best universities in Europe, including Oxford, Cambridge and London. Anyone planning to study in the UK should learn English for college before arriving, because there is little point in enduring the financial hardship of university if you cannot grasp what is being discussed. A simple intensive English course in London will not be enough, as you will be expected to know specialised vocabulary.

Legal English

People who may need to learn legal English include law students coming to study in the UK and international lawyers who may need to deal with British companies. Legal English is quite divorced from the language in common usage and requires special tuition. Not many language schools have the capacity to teach such a specialised course, so it is worth checking before booking.
