English is the one foreign language that has become essential in our modern global village. Being able to speak the English language allows you to be understood anywhere in the world.

English has become the major language of international business and information, science and technology, education and publishing. About two-thirds of scientists read operating instructions in English. Approximately, three-quarters of the world’s correspondence is written in this international language.

Most global IT operations use English to communicate. Computer technology, with its specific technical jargon, is one of the driving forces that has made English the universal language of modern business.

Knowing more than one language is a big advantage in the corporate world, especially if you’re dealing with people of different nationalities. CEOs who are native speakers of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew or Japanese are running U.S. companies today. They also speak English, of course.

Speaking the language of both your competitor and your colleagues can definitely bring great business benefits. It is never too late to start learning English.

Who knows, it just might give you that nudge up the corporate ladder.

  English Matters
 

 

Must Not or Don't Have To?




Must and Have To

The modal verbs must and have to are used the same way in the positive sense.

Example
You must leave and you have to leave have the same meaning.

However, when used in the negative, must not and don’t have to have different meanings.

Must not refers to something that is forbidden. Don’t have to refers to a choice to do what you want.
 
Example
You must not tip the waiters at Garden Restaurant.
Their managers do not allow tipping.
Tipping is forbidden.

Example
You don’t have to tip the waiters at the Terrace Restaurant.
But you may leave a tip if you want to.
Tipping is allowed.

Dear Professor Clever,

I just downloaded the CleverTrainer™ but I wasn’t able to successfully install it because it was cancelled by the installation wizard. This message appeared on my computer screen: “Unable to find installed HOTSYNC.EXE application. Aborting Installation.” Please advise. I am very interested in using the CleverTrainer.

                                                                            - Frank Elsner (Muenchen, Germany)

Hello Frank,

The CleverTrainer is an application for your hand-held or PDA (Palm). After downloading the Clicktionary® Version 2.9 from our website www.cleverlearn.com, please check if you have plugged in your hand-held cradle and have installed the HotSync® application already.

The HotSync® application and the cradle allows you to synchronize your Personal Vocabulary with the Clicktionary Version 2.9 and the CleverTrainer. Normally, the HotSync® software is already included when you buy your hand-held.

Thanks Frank and enjoy the CleverTrainer.

  

 

Dear Professor Clever,

I can’t login at my Cleverlearn account. Please help me because I do a lot of business travelling and I really enjoy the convenience of having access to my Personal Vocabulary wherever I may be around the world. Thank you in advance.

                                                                          - Hildegard Bauer (Prenzlau, Germany)

Hello Hildegard,

After you have downloaded the Clicktionary® Version 2.9, you will receive a confirmation email with important information such as your password to log in at your Cleverlearn account. Your Cleverlearn account will enable you to build up your Personal Vocabulary. The PV stores difficult English words that you want to learn and allows you to synchronize all the contents with your Clicktionary Version 2.9 once you are online. If you can no longer find your Login information, you can retrieve it at your Cleverlearn account by clicking on the Password Lookup link. We will immediately send your password to the email address that you have specified.

Enjoy!
