Chemical engineering English is mainly about translation, right? There aren’t many requirements for listening and speaking, right?

Take some time to carefully go through each request in this section, see how many of them you can resolve, and then make a decision regarding the requirements for chemical engineering translation.

As a translator, one can’t listen or speak – only do translation by writing. I guess such a translator isn’t fit for the new era either; haha. Besides, having good oral skills is much more valuable. Now everyone’s English level is higher than before (as things improve, so do people’s skills); you need to be better than others in order to succeed.

There are increasingly more projects involving cooperation with foreign parties these days, and often it’s necessary to communicate and discuss with foreigners in person. Do you need to pass notes to them?

If one studies chemical engineering and also learns French or German, they will have a job wherever they go. But effort is required.

Even with translation, there is an issue of direction; for example, nanotechnology, hypergravity, and separation/purification are quite different from each other

First, I need the original poster to clarify: 1. What do you mean by chemical engineering professional English here? An exam? Translate things by yourself? 2. Different purposes require different requirements

Everyday expressions are definitely the most important. foreigners aren’t the kind of people who work non-stop and have no time for leisure; especially those on site, they really have plenty of free time. If you can complement or find common ground with his culture, perhaps you too can gain a lot from it. Next is professional English; even if you ask a foreigner who has no experience with it to translate, they may not be able to do it – experience is needed here. I agree with what was said above: it depends on how many problems you can solve in this section, but most people who come here to ask questions face quite difficult tasks. There are so many experts on this forum; I’ve only been here for a few days yet I already love it – it’s great for expanding my knowledge. Wish you success!

I recommend a place I visited before called SPIKER English for your reference. Classes are held over the phone, so you can take them anytime from anywhere using just a mobile phone; there’s no need to make appointments with foreign teachers either. What’s important is that teachers provide one-on-one instruction and create a learning plan tailored to you, which helps to achieve better learning results. There are also free courses with foreign teachers available at: http://www.spiiker.com/daily/?qd=wilson. Chinese-speaking teachers are also available, offering good value for money. Tips for self-studying spoken English: Learning any language requires a lot of reading, and learning English is no exception. Those who are good at English have, generally speaking, read a considerable number of books ； Conversely, only those who read a lot can truly learn English well. Although this principle is simple, many people learning English may not understand it. These days, many people are keen on doing exercises, thinking that this is the correct way to learn English. As a result, I kept working on one exercise book after another, and one set of test questions after another; it became overwhelming and I lost all interest, yet my English skills didn’t improve significantly. 　　 To learn English, it is indeed necessary to do proper practice. But I believe that, in the end, good English is acquired through “reading,” not through practice*. “The English read out is authentic and natural, as the user relies on a sense of language” ； “English produced in this way often sounds stiff, as the user relies on \"grammar rules\" to force it out.
