Better "also" or "too"?

[alexzive]

Dear All,

I am back! Thank you to everyone helping me to find out the best solution for this sentence.
See you, Alex

"He also possesses a remarkable international experience, being very communicative and proficient in German and Italian, also at a specific business level."

or

"He also possesses a remarkable international experience, being very communicative and proficient in German and Italian, at a specific business level too."

Hi there

My gut feeling would be to opt for "also" but if it was my task I'd rephrase the ending like this: "... Italian, specifically at a business level." Here's why: My guess is that what you want to say is that he is proficient in these two languages not at a specific level of business -meaning a particular level relating to ONE business issue among others- but that he's able to communicate well about business issues in general? I could be wrong, of course...

Cheers
L. L.

Dear Librarian, thank you for your replay!

not exactly..
I mean he has very good "general" knowledge of German and Italian, and at the same time he is ALSO good in the specific area of both Business German and Italian.

Dear alexvize

It's "reply" rather, by the way.

I think I correctly guessed your intended meaning, because what you say is exactly
what my re-wording was meant to convey but it's up to you of course.

Cheers

ok,
sorry for my misunderstood!

Thank you again, Alex

Hi Alex

I agree with LL's idea. In addition, you should make the word 'experience' uncountable (i.e. delete the word 'a'). Theoretically, you could also use 'know-how' instead of 'experience'. Instead of using 'also' or 'too' you could use words such as particularly or including. Here is my suggestion:

"He also possesses remarkable international experience, being very communicative and proficient in both German and Italian, particularly on a business level."

Using the word particularly would stress the business aspect. Using including would be more similar to simply saying 'also' or 'too'.
