People need to learn English for a number of reasons. At CEIM, all such
issues and more are properly dealt with. Here is a brief list of
frequently-asked questions (click on the line of your interest):
-
I don’t really want to speak English: I just need to pass a written
exam. Can I get trained in Reading Comprehension?
-
I have no idea of English. I never had English classes. I’m in no hurry,
but I don’t want to spend a lifetime studying English. What can I do?
-
I have no idea of English. I never had English classes before but I need to speak it
perfectly within 3 months. How about it?
-
I can’t speak English. I don’t want to study it. I just want to speak it. I have just two months to be able to speak it
perfectly with native Americans over the phone.
-
I hate English. I don’t like the English or American cultures but I do
need to learn that language because a good command of it has become a
must in my job. If I don’t learn it fast, I’ll soon be out of work.
-
I want to change my job (or, to get a job) and I have realised
that without a good command of English, my excellent qualifications
amount to almost zero. I need to learn it quickly! Can you help me?
-
I consider myself an intelligent person but I feel overwhelmed by
English! I’ve tried so many times, used so many different books,
attended classes at all sort of institutes!… and here I am: still doing
poorly in English, mainly in listening comprehension and oral
expression. I feel so frustrated! This is one of my last attempts. How
can you help me?
-
I know a little English. I can read, but I cannot speak much and I
certainly can’t understand other people when they speak fast. Can I get
some ear-training?
-
I know very little English. I’m travelling to an English-speaking country within two months and
I should be able to communicate.
-
I learnt English at school. I can read a little but I cannot speak much.
-
I’m a business person. I frequently travel abroad. I manage to hold a
conversation but I know my English is far from perfect. Besides, I know
I frequently mix British and American pronunciation, vocabulary and even
grammar. I wish I could find somebody who could teach me how to tell the
difference.
-
I have studied English for a number of years, but I have never managed
to understand much, especially when people speak to me. I can understand
neither films nor songs.
-
I have begun English courses hundreds of times but I’ve never finished
them. I haven’t been able to go beyond an Intermediate Level. I feel I’m
not fluent enough.
-
I’m a professional with a sound knowledge of English but I feel I need
tutoring to correct my pronunciation and to improve my fluency in my
field of study. I don’t want to attend classes in a regular course.
-
I’m a professional with no trouble in reading comprehension. I even
write papers effortlessly but I still find it difficult to communicate
orally. I also feel that I’d like to go beyond the realm of my field of
study.
-
I have an Advanced Level but I feel insecure when I have to speak: I
hesitate a lot and I think I cannot express myself accurately.
-
I have a very advanced level. I find it difficult to get a teacher who
can answer all my questions and meet all my challenges.

I’m an undergraduate from a teacher-training college. I need tutoring in
some subjects.

fluency). I need somebody to correct me, give me advanced ear-training

I’m a translator and I need to be tutored, trained and corrected.
-
I’m a translator (or a teacher). Although I have studied the differences

standard but now I need the other. I want to be tutored by somebody who is
proficient enough in both.

I’m a translator. I need to practise simultaneous interpreting, but I cannot find a qualified teacher who can
meet the challenge.

taught and trained by somebody who is really qualified for the job,
since my scholarship / fellowship (or job) depends on that.
-
I need to study English badly but my time availability is quite limited.
-
I’ll be free to study English many hours a day for the next two and a
half months. I want to take classes as often as possible. What do you
suggest?

I need to study English but I also have to get some training in another
foreign language. Where could I learn it?

If CEIM started out in 1979, how come I never got word of Mr Meazzi or
his language institute?
