While we do offer foreign language translation and other language services upon request, our core mission is to connect foreign professionals with patient, empathetic and discreet native speakers of American English to help complete projects faster, reduce stress and improve professional quality of life in the United States.<\/p>\n
We welcome partnerships with translators, global relocation companies, and other organizations which enable international business to provide supplementary U.S.-based language and cultural support services.<\/p>\n

We understand that regardless of how long someone has studied a language, using a foreign language in a foreign country with native speakers incorporates new complexity due to the added element of local cultural nuances.<\/p>\n
Cultural understanding is much more than knowing socially acceptable dos and don\u2019ts; it involves understanding the perspectives that influence decisions, how people work, and the way they think.<\/p>\n
A language or cultural misunderstanding can introduce business, legal or reputational risk.<\/p>\n
Unless someone has lived in the United States and has made an active, extended effort to immerse in US culture, a non-native speaker of American English may not detect linguistic and cultural nuances, understand regional accents, or be able to follow a conversation when native speakers are speaking quickly, using less commonly used words, or using complex grammatical structures.<\/p>\n
It is difficult to grasp these concepts without having lived in a language and cultural immersion environment. Biz in English understands and is ready to help our clients overcome these communication challenges and accomplish their professional goals.<\/p>\n
