Last Business English class



Today was the last lesson of the selective subject Business English.
Great thanks to Liina for inviting the guest lecturer, an Englishman, Hadley Barret, who works in real estate, to give a talk about real estate (obviously) as well as giving his opinion on how to make money and on the overall situation on the Estonian market.
I'm glad so many of you turned up on Friday at 3pm :D

All in all, there were a great many drawbacks to the classes, I have to admit, but still the course turned out ok. I'll wait for your feedback. The anonymous course evaluation form will be open from Monday (May 21) and available here. Your feedback is important so that I could make the course better for the future generations ;)
