Course Description
Hi. I'm Luke!
Do you often feel frustrated when writing English emails because you can’t express exactly what you mean? Or maybe your work emails occasionally cause misunderstandings or awkward situations.
I get it.
It is a common issue that many English learners have. The fact is, an email is often the first impression someone has of you. The way you write has a big impact on how people feel about you. The good news is that learning to write clear and impactful English emails is not as hard as you might think.
In this course, you will improve your English email writing skills, whether you need to write emails to a colleague or a friend, whether you need to be formal or casual, whether you are writing to someone you don’t know or someone you’ve known for years--you will be able to handle anything. The key will be looking at examples of clearly-written emails in real-life situations. For each email, we will explore a scenario and go through the example in detail, pulling out methods, tips, structures, idioms, phrases, grammar, and vocabulary. We will also discuss more complex things, like creating the right tone, ensuring the correct level of formality, communicating ideas effectively, and much more.
Of course, it will be crucial to practice what you learn. Each example we look at will be provided in PDFs so that you can use them as templates for your emails. Put what you learn into practice, and you will see the results.
Some of the specific things you will learn in this course:

Too lengthy and too much explanations for simple things
By Aditya Pimparkar on 6/27/2024
I wanted some professional email examples to go through. Because, I have recently found that I am being too direct and not professional, while writing emails.

This is a wonderful course, so far I have learnt structures and techniques that are very useful in my new job as a member of the Email team at our company support center. It's something I never knew I needed but so happy I have it.

i like the way the course was taught, and the speed was good not too fast for an English learner. i like as well the structure of the lessons and files. i suggest that the Recap summery points should be included in the PDF file in the resources.

The course gives you an idea of what will best suit an email based on the scenario. It tells you to start and close an email with the proper lines to be used.
