Resumo
The business sphere is a multilingual world where foreign language communication skills are crucial in
international relations. It makes employers look for business professionals who have a high level of linguistic
competences. Language proficiency increases the chances of negotiation among partners. There are mainly
two obstacles that make barriers in formal communication in a foreign language: lack of knowledge of
specific linguistic structures or terminology and frequent transitions from one language to another. This paper
contributes to the quest for quick access to a wide range of English, Spanish and Russian online databases
that provide authentic language samples. Their application may improve communication skills and facilitate
preparation for business discourse.
