    • ]]>     I (would) need no more than 1.5/2 years for me. (NB: w/o daily exposure at work you need ~ 2/3 years from B2→C1) Learning English for me is increasing active vocabulary up to 7000/8000 additional words, colocations collocations and phrasal verbs, improve improving my speech recognition abilities up to recognise all dialogs (AmEn spelling) in films and series and train training grammar in writing and speaking. According to my previous experience all I need is a teacher, two lessens lessons in of 2 hours per week and 2 hours homework after each lesson. What is important is that learning must be organised on a regularly basis. As a result of this work I hope I will reach all my objectives. 2) === How do you deal with difficult communication styles of your partners ? === Firstly we need to decide what are our aim is the (reason for) aim of the | our communication. If we want to relax and drink beer in a bar we can just enjoy ourselves with in any way (but don't we mustn't forget to be respectful to each other). But if we had important negotiations or were time limited and had to make a decision I would try to manage our communication to reach objectives with higher efficiency. For example if a partner was so very talkative and couldn't focus on a target it would be very useful to break interrupt him / her sometimes to focus on an a meeting agenda. Although manage (by) managing a communication this way we can lose something important we should accept it because this approach discipline disciplines counter-partners (OR counter-parts) and saves a lot of important time. However it is very useful to recognise a the communication style of your partner to prepare your own communication strategy. In conclusion I want to say that an effective communication is an art and it is a great luck you are lucky | fortunate if you are manage to find a special way to for each of your counter- partners. ]]> 65
