So when I was deciding which topic to focus on for our second episode I really only needed to look at what the people I work with are actually asking for. One of the most common topics that I discuss with people is presentations. Presentations can be great opportunities to use those English skills that you work so hard on, but they also have their own stresses and challenges. Today we’re going to look at some vocabulary that you might hear when watching a presentation and some that you might want to use when giving your own. At the end we also have our 'big discussion question' to help you with your speaking practice. You can find the vocabulary from this podcast in the vocabulary sets on my profile.

07/01/23 • 26 min
It can be difficult to ask for help or support at work in English, especially if English is your second language. However, we all need advice and assistance sometimes, so let's practice speaking about this difficult topic. In this Business English class and lesson we'll look at how to ask your colleagues and your managers for help, how to thank people for their help, and how to decide who is the best person to ask for help. We'll hear some natural and native vocabulary that you can use in these situations, including some phrasal verbs and idioms, and we'll finish off with a quiz and a challenge to get you speaking.
The international English speakers I coach and tutor every day tell me that it can be difficult to ask for help at work. If you're new to a job, role, or position, then you might need more help than someone who is a little more experienced. Learning about and understanding the best ways to talk to your colleagues about things that you find difficult, the challenges you have at work, and how they can help you to overcome them is an important skill in growing as a professional. After today's podcast I hope you will be a little more confident in doing this.

Breakout Business English - Improve your vocabulary and confidence using English at work.
07/27/23 • 29 min
Disagreeing with people is an important and healthy part of working on a team towards shared goals. The challenge is therefore, how can we do this in a way that protects and even strengthens our professional relationships? It would be great if the only thing we had to do at work was to agree with people. If everyone around us had great ideas, and if our colleagues' suggestions always seemed like the best things to do. However, this is not the case. A lot of people worry that if they disagree with their co-workers then this could upset them or damage their professional relationships. However, if we do it right, disagreeing with colleagues when it’s appropriate can be great for your team, your career, and your reputation at work.
Today we’re going to hear some tips and ideas for how to disagree with your colleagues, we’ll hear some great natural and native sounding vocabulary that we can use to do this, and then we’ll finish off with some challenges for you.
