| Does the phrase "English presentation to stockholders" sound okay? It apparently means "giving a presentation in English to stockholders" but the phrasing strikes me as unidiomatic. |

Dear totto-chan, Your phrase is Ok and, yes, it's unidiomatic. But, in the context of doing business in a country in which English is not the native language, it should be clearly understood. Your re-phrasing of it is fine, but another way is 'presentation to stockholders, in English'. Ok?--Eric  |

| Dear Eric, thanks for the reply. I came across this phrase in an ad placed by a major language school. Seems they don't bother to check the final copy of ads. |
