First be quite fluent in basic English. if their English is rusty or if they can't write or speak English at all, they must work hard to lay a solid foundation until they have reasonable listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. When understanding English conversations and communicating with native English speakers in daily situations do not prove difficult, people can then go on to the stage of picking up some expressions or jargon used in business situation.
Actually, the spelling of most business expressions or jargon is familiar to learners. The difference is that their meanings have been changed.
