The Business of Language Archive

To keep you up to date with the latest from the RLN and how we can help your business, we’ve changed from our previous quarterly format to this shorter monthly bulletin.

Each month we’ll bring you three new, innovative ideas and services to improve your international communications. Whether you trade overseas, employ foreign staff or want to tackle non-English speaking markets, the RLN can help you break down language and cultural barriers.

This month find out about free downloadable resources, a pioneering scheme to harness business-language expertise in schools and a free service to help you identify your language training needs.

With temperatures of around 60 degrees it certainly doesn't feel like the 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' and feels even less like there are only 55 days until you know what...

So, to keep your mind off the impending frenzied retail activities we have a great selection of articles, information and tips, all on the subject of language and cultural awareness.

This month has a Chinese feel to it with an enlightening article from Dr Kevin Lin of KL Communications about the problems around translating into Chinese, a case study from a Derbyshire firm who have really broken into the Chinese market and tips and tricks for doing business in China.

In particular it would be great if you could read the article about Languages Work, 'Your local school needs YOU!' We really need the help and support of local businesses to help us with this very important project.

On a more philosophical note we are pleased to feature a list of quotations which celebrate and promote language and are themselves great advertisements for the power of language.

But just when you thought this was a festive free zone, we have thrown in a Christmas/New Year quiz to get you up to speed with what other people around the world will be doing on 25th December and 1st January.

A final request to all subscribers, it would be great to have feedback on any aspect of this e-zine, so please send your comments or any ideas for future content to info@rln-eastmidlands.com

Please also feel free to send on the e-zine to anyone else you think may be interested in what we have to say.

Best regards and, dare I say it, have a great Christmas!!
