Speaking English at work can be as challenging as presenting a key project or leading a meeting in front of senior management. For many professionals in Latin America, the language becomes an invisible barrier that undermines confidence and limits growth. However, when training connects with everyday reality, the result is more than learning—it is transformation.
That was the journey of Aníbal, Eduardo, Leticia, and Jorge, professionals from industries ranging from mining to water management and steel, who found in Bridge the opportunity to turn English into a tool for growth, not an obstacle.
English Challenges at Work for Professionals in LATAM
For Aníbal, at SQM, English is not a luxury:
“Half my day is in Spanish and half in English. Understanding clients and communicating solutions is a constant challenge.”
Eduardo, from Xylem, faced a different difficulty:
“Going back to studying after almost 10 years without doing so.”
For Leticia, at Vilalba Aceros, the challenge was even broader:
“I work in a company that operates in 80 countries; I need to communicate daily in English with colleagues from all over the world.”
And Jorge, also from SQM, sums it up in one word: confidence.
“Even though I understood what was being said, my lack of confidence stopped me from fully expressing myself in meetings.”
How a Flexible Corporate English Program Makes the Difference
Beyond their different situations, everyone agreed that the experience with Bridge allowed them to find a viable path forward.
Classes stopped being theoretical and became practical and flexible spaces. Aníbal highlights: “The classes are dynamic; I can choose the topic and the schedule, which helps me stay consistent.” Eduardo adds the value of flexibility: “There is a wide range of schedule options, I can always find one that fits my agenda.”
Leticia found an unexpected bonus: her teacher brought the classes into topics of environment and sustainability, directly related to her work. “That gave me immediate confidence,” she says. For Jorge, the one-on-one sessions were decisive: “They helped me increase my confidence and go deeper into more work-related language.”
Keys to Staying Consistent in Online English Courses
Maintaining learning momentum is not always easy. Each developed their own strategy:
-
Aníbal scheduled classes as if they were immovable work meetings.
-
Eduardo complemented learning with apps and daily practice, even if only five minutes.
-
Leticia relied on her motivation to grow professionally and open doors within her company.
-
Jorge found that schedule flexibility allowed him to integrate classes into his agenda.
How English Training Improves Confidence and Cross-Cultural
Behind their progress in English, all four recognized the human value of Bridge Global Teachers: diversity of accents, positive attitude, constant motivation, and the ability to adapt each class to what each learner needs. That support made the difference.
The impact was immediate. Aníbal sums it up: “Now that I practice constantly, my confidence increases.” Eduardo celebrates regaining fluency after years. Leticia says she can now participate confidently in international meetings. And Jorge concludes firmly: “The course has been vital to strengthen my confidence through consistent practice.”
Why Investing in Corporate English Generates ROI and Confidence
What unites these four stories is not just the language, but the change in confidence and in the way they work globally. When training is flexible, personalized, and guided by expert teachers, English stops being an obstacle and becomes a catalyst for productivity and professional growth.
