<![CDATA[Diario de un Profesor de Inglés]]><![CDATA[11 de septiembre de 2007 The End (of this blog)]]> After two years publishing weekly articles with links, resources, ideas, instructions, rates and lot of other ideas to accompany our learning activity in business English, I have to say goodbye to this blog and to you all.
I am moving away to create a Virtual Learning Community thanks to the sponsorship of Educa Madrid , an educational portal for those teaching and learning in Madrid.
My reasons are: more room to upload more and larger files than the 10 MB provided by this company -ya.com, which is quite limited by the way. I also hope that we will be enjoying more stability of service and privacy.
To have access to the community you will need to be registered. Those of you wanting to have access to it, please send me a comment (see below) indicating your interest and if you are or have been a pupil of mine, then I promise free access to the community.
Finally, if this is the first time you are visiting this blog, let me invite you to visit all its contents: all around Business English. The first posts will offer you a detailed of the course I am presently teaching at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid in Calle Jesús Maestro.

]]><![CDATA[9 - 2 - 07 LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS]]> This field is not easy and requieres some previous reading work. Let me just refer to the following article:
Business organizations is an area of law that covers the broad array of rules governing the formation and operation of different kinds of entities by which individuals can organize to do business. The term is also used to describe the entities themselves. A variety of other terms are used fairly interchangeably to describe this area, including or business associations, business forms, and business entities. Reference to a "business" entity usually (though not always) indicates that entity's status as for-profit, as opposed to non-profit.
