--- subtitle: Unsere Trainerin Tracy unterricht bei FeuerTRUTZ title: Do you speak English? --- Unsere Trainerin unterrichtet Englisch bei der Firma [FeuerTRUTZ](http://www.feuertrutz.de). In der firmeneigenen Zeitschrift _MüllerMagazin_ hat Ursula Beyer einen Bericht über die gute Zusammenarbeit veröffentlicht, den wir hier mit freundlicher Genehmigung zitieren. Sie können den Artikel auch als [PDF-Datei](/media/2016/feuertrutz.pdf) herunterladen. > FeuerTRUTZ wants to become more international. Therefore they decided to teach > their employees English. All of us learned English at school. Perhaps some of > us even visited a foreign country for some time and perfected their English > there. But nevertheless, if you don`t practice your English regularly, you > forget it very fast – the vocabulary, the grammar and the free speaking. As > the FeuerTRUTZ employees are not all on the same level in English, the > management decided to offer them two classes for two different levels. Because > of that there were some places free and the two classes were filled up with > colleagues from the other companies – Coleman, Bruder and the Holding. > Everybody took a placement test for classifying for one of the two classes – > level one or two. What shall I say? We are the Level-1-Group. And we are a > very nice and smart group, a really good group. The best Level-1-Group in the > little Rudolf Müller World that has ever existed. You ask yourself why? > Because our English is excellent, we always give our very best and last but > not least we are a Girl-Group. A Girl-Power-English-Class.Who are we? Nicole, > Nicole, Elke, Ulla, Yvonne (Angel), Elin, Yvonne, Nina, Saskia, Anja and > TRACY, our teacher. > > We learn a lot from Tracy and Tracy demands a lot from us. But that’s exactly > what we need to refresh our English. The more we are asked the better we do > it. First of all, if we come into the class we are not allowed to speak > German any more. We all have to speak English, if needed we are allowed to > speak turkish, french or italian, but NO German: Tracy’s lessons are exciting, > entertaining and very instructive. Most of the time we train free speaking. We > speak about several different things, for example about fashion, international > marketing, Steve Jobs, the weather, about holiday or vacation (do you know the > difference between holiday and vacation?), marketing strategies, business > English and and and. > > As I said, we are Girl-Power-English-Class and that’s why we have really fun. > Our conversations and discussions are varied, take ten women and you have 10 > views. But we are not only kidding and laughing. We also have to prepare > presentations for example. Tracy gives us a theme and then we create a > marketing presentation in little groups which we have to present in front of > the class. We also practice telephone calls and conversations. Grammar > excercises or just reading texts are also part of the teaching. The classes > take place every Thursday morning and these one hour and a half every Thursday > is time well spent. Tank you Tracy and thank you to Feuertrutz, who has made > this possible. > >
