English for Hospitality Professionals
Since the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, Kanazawa has become a popular tourist destination, with visitors from North America, Australia, Europe, Asia and elsewhere flocking here to enjoy the culture, scenery and food. One of the challenges for businesses who wish to take advantage of this increase is the language barrier, and with English being the default international language for travellers, being able to conduct your business in it is a serious advantage. Travellers frequently mention in reviews on popular websites like Tripadvisor, Facebook, Yelp and others if a shop has English speaking staff and signage, and those that do generally receive higher ratings.
We at Shining Star English can help you to become one of these businesses by providing English training and consultation services. We can provide customized training for your staff, translations and corrections of signage and other documents, and even help you to set up an English web presence, which can be crucial these days.
