Dear Mr. Moore,

Thank you so much for creating the Business English: Networking course. I enjoyed completing it and doing the suggested tasks, which are made professionally and clearly. Also, I appreciate your help to overcome a psychological barrier while I was seeing that it is not so scary and perplexing to make calls after acquainting with a person a week ago or leave messages. In particular, I would like to mention your emphasis on Business culture aspect, which is so important to be aware of.

Thank you so much again. I wish you inspiration and success from the bottom of my heart.

And a nice closing sentence: I look forward to taking your other courses.

Sincerely, Vira Duda

Many thanks for the instructors for this course. It truly was a positive initiative for me to keep learning and practicing communicating in English formally, neutrally and informally.

Noting that it is almost impossible due to the number or peers (enrollments), I wished for my assignments (or at least a few) to be checked by any instructor in order to point out (more efficiently) any common/uncommon mistakes, or to have a more efficient feedbacks.

Nevertheless, having peer-graded feedbacks and reviews by/on me was useful in many ways, notably in interacting.

Again, much appreciated for this lovely simple course.

I wish you all the best, stay safe!

The course really outlined the understanding of using professional English in the Native tone. Based on words and pronunciation is cleared for both Native and 2nd language English learners to expand its own dictionary usage for communication and businesses with clients.

I would recommend this course is best for people who are working in the professional career. It is a revision of Native and 2nd language English speaker who had learnt at American High School. In Asia region, Mandarin is highly demanded, which is an advantage for a non-native Chinese speaker.

My name is Jose Antonio.

In Brazil, English is the second language. Very useful in business.

My experience in speaking English is small because I don't practice it every day.

I am in transition career to Data Scientist, doing specializations at Coursera.

English could help me a lot at this moment in my professional life.

The course was excellent and the classes well taught by the teachers.

Regards.

For me, this course was very helpful. I started applying what I've learned at work.

My new position requires from me to write and speak very well in term of communication and business reports.

I'm especially weak in speaking English. I hope I will get better in the upcoming weeks.

The instructors are amazing, joyful too. They make me open the course every evening to study. Thank you!

I was very interested in and the video and the exams are realy well formatted and bring all what you need step by step. Even If I was able to make an email or to phone, it was not in an appropriate way. So now I know more words and sentences that help me to use the right ton. I will in the next futur use it and know that it will make appear as professionnal.

Everything on this course has been very much helpful and efficient. I'm a kind of learner whose focus could be easily diverted whenever the topic is not engaging or not interactive. This course has put a lot of effort on that. Thank you so much University of Washington, especially everyone behind this course. Thank you Coursera!

Dear Coursera team,

Thank you for an opportunity to try this online course. I have never had such kind of learning before and was sceptical about it. But the course was interesting, useful and not boring. I think, I improved my English communication skills and it will help me in my work.

Once again thank you and good luck!

I learned a lot in this course.Though I have learned English in China for almost 15 years and doing my master's degree in America, no one has taught me those basic skills of how to text ,how to write a invitation , how to decline an invitation and how to write a thank you note.

This course is amazing and useful.

Even though you are verse in English, it is important to know how to start a conversation or write a professional email in corporate America. The course Business English: Networking from Coursera offered a pretty good edge and an astute grasp of how to accomplish such tasks while communicating with peers.
