💡EPISODE INFORMATION
In this podcast episode I talk about the Lawyer's English Language Coursebook, also known as the TOLES book for the Test of Legal English Skills. This podcast is not endorsed or sponsored by TOLES as is my honest review.
*Note: I mention that the book has a C.V. another legal English teacher has told me that if you email TOLES they may be able to provide the mp3 of the audio for teaching purposes. Also since recording this episode Cambridge Law Studio have introduced an online programme called Illuminate.

I've attended to Cambridge Law Studio's course back in 2014. What was very helpful for both TOLES and ILEC (a former Cambridge exam). She was super nice and extremely supportive back then. Her book is still useful for me.

The most cordial greetings: I'm a lawyer from Colombia who is learning general English, but I also want to be able to speak about my profession in this beautiful language, therefore I thank you for your review, bucause now I know that is a good idea to get this book and why not, to take the TOLES exam. Take care. Bless you. Postscript: I really love the british accent.

Hello, I really like your podcast, it is very useful. I would like please a review of this book : Reading Law : An interpretation of legal texts by Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner. Thanks in advance for your review and have a great day!

It's not a book I have read, I will add it to the list!

Hi! Thank your for the insight. You say the book helps you to prepare for the Foundation and the Higher. What about the Advanced? Is the book not good enough for it? should we try other books if we want to prepare for the Advanced exam? Thank you!!

Check out my post here: studylegalenglish.com/tolesexam/ there is another book for Advanced.

Hi Louise, thank you for sharing. Are you in Italki? when you said that you teach students, do you mean 1:1 lessons?

@thelegalenglisher 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Maria, I used to work a lot on italki but now I have a few private students, as well as teaching for companies, and running group courses. If you are interested you can contact me louise@studylegalenglish.com. Thanks, Louise
