Business English Express

Problem

In foreign companies and cross-team collaboration, many engineers and product managers don't fail because of grammar, but because the wording feels off: Dear all to a client, long sentences, stiff tone, or frequent Chinglish. This skill is not a translator and not an IELTS/TOEFL tutor. It focuses on concrete business situations such as RFQ, complaints, invitations, meetings, and negotiations, providing phrasing that feels closer to native business English, with explanations of when to use it.

How it works

It usually starts by clarifying three things:
- Context: email, meeting, phone, or negotiation
- Audience: client, colleague, manager, or supplier
- Tone: formal, semi-formal, or friendly

Then it generates practical expressions, often including:
- 2-3 options with different formality levels
- Chinese meaning and usage context
- formality markers, e.g. ★★★ formal to ★ casual
- common Chinglish mistakes and safer alternatives

Rather than translating word by word, it is better suited for turning the core idea into a sendable business message, with notes on cultural differences, CC/BCC, timezone scheduling, and legal boundaries.

Boundaries

Templates still need adjustment for company culture and recipient style; contracts, legal clauses, or highly sensitive business content should go to professional translation. It is not intended for everyday English practice, literary translation, simultaneous interpretation, or academic writing. Provide the audience, goal, and formality before use, and avoid including real client data in examples.
