If I want to be an English tour guide, what is the best way to learn English?

I have been an English-speaking tour guide for four years, and my biggest experience is that language only accounts for 50% of the success factors for an excellent tourism practitioner. There are many people in our circle whose foreign language speaking ability is less than half, which is only at the communication level, but they have a strong sense of service and good team control. Such tour guides are more likely to be recognized by travel agencies and tourists.

Purely speaking from the perspective of learning English, it is not recommended that you buy a large number of books. Basically, it is a waste of money to read them patiently. It is better to use Skype and MSN to communicate directly with native speakers in English-speaking countries. You can use text chat at the beginning and gradually transition to voice. More importantly, this method can help you prepare the cultural reserves of English tour guides and further understand the needs of British and American tourists. Lifestyle habits are much more useful than working behind closed doors.
