INTRO LEARNING GUIDE

It’s nice to meet you!

A. Get prepared

Before we get started our training term, is necessary to meet each other on a synchronic
session which will be schedule by your English trainer soon. Therefore, it’s extremely
important you get prepared to attend that online meeting, since you will provide basic
information about yourself and your training career expectations. For that reason, I
recommend you go over the following topics:

respond them.
