Corporate English Workshops.

Most corporate English training focuses on grammar, emails, and polite small talk. We focus on the part everyone actually struggles with: how language really works.

Our workshops use Private Joke®, a linguistically mischievous card game, to help international teams master confidence, pronunciation, and the social nuances that sit beneath fluent English.

What Makes These Workshops Different

1. We Teach the English You Were Never Taught

English is full of words that don’t translate neatly but shape how people think, decide, and connect: awkward, banter, cheeky.

We unpack what these words really mean, when to use them, and when absolutely not to. Participants learn social meaning, tone, and cultural subtext.

2. Play First. Speak More. Relax Faster.

Private Joke® creates a low-stakes, high-laughter environment where people:

  • speak more without overthinking
  • experiment with pronunciation safely
  • stop translating in their heads
  • build confidence through humour

3. Pronunciation Without the Pain

We target the sounds international professionals most struggle with:

  • consonant clusters (strengths, months)
  • rhythm, stress, and sentence music
  • British vs international pronunciation expectations

This is practical, confidence-boosting work, not accent-shaming.

4. Culture for Real Workplaces

We explore how English is used in:

  • meetings and disagreement
  • humour and understatement
  • feedback and “polite” criticism
  • small talk that actually builds rapport
  • British workplace norms

Participants leave better equipped to read the room, not just understand the words.
