However, Language is an expression of a person's culture, and learning a new language is a process of cultural interchange. Here in the UK, English-speaking teams form the backbone of almost every company. And yet, not everyone can hear and create the sounds of the English language, because they don\u2019t exist in other languages.\nHaving supported leading brands including AXA, Amundi Asset Management and Rabobank (among others), I have invited Eisha to join me today to tell us more about her unique methodology which combines both academic research with theatre-based skills to deliver transformational training with lasting results for businesses.\nIn this \u201cMastering English intelligibility in Business\u201d episode with Eisha Karol on The HR L&D Podcast, we also explore:\n\n* What do the words Human Resources mean to you?\n* I never knew that English as a language was difficult to learn for others due to its many complex sounds, which are not found in other languages \u2013 can you tell us more about these?\n* Can you tell us about the often-overlooked issue of intelligibility, especially in larger organisations and why a faster way to clear communication is important for business performance?\n* So How is PronounceMe's training different from conventional language training such as IELTS (International English Language Testing System)?\n* How did you come to develop the training programme in the way that you have?\n* Why do you think HR personnel need to consider intelligibility in international staff?\n* What other issues might international/relocated staff need support with apart from spoken English language training?\n* Can you tell us more about your new PronounceMe signature programme \u2013 called the English Mastery for Global Professional?\n\nLinks highlighted in this \u201cMastering English intelligibility in Business\u201d episode are included below:\n\n* Website: https://www.pronounceme.co.uk/\n* Useful Resources: https://www.pronounceme.co.uk/resources\n* PronounceMe: LinkedIn\n* Eisha Karol: LinkedIn\n* The host of The HR L&D Podcast - LinkedIn Profile: Nick Day\n* Leading HR Recruiters: JGA HR Recruitment\n\nOf course, if you are an HR or L&D Leader listening to this podcast and you have an HR-related vacancy that you would love some specialist human resources recruitment support with \u2013 please also get in touch with me! I would love to help show you what a great HR recruitment experience feels like!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/059b436e-25ca-43ea-a3c8-3e7d69630d86/YBz1oOffGKRqC0qrNBeStDKe.jpg"}
