Would you start a project to improve something without a plan or strategy? Didn't think so. English should be the same. I recommend you to take a step back and think about what you really want to achieve this year. Be realistic and honest with yourself and you will come up with a goal that is achieveable that you can really work towards.*Technically, this question is one for the Coach but I explain what I mean in the episode.

How I learnt a language from zero

Confident Business English ·

2021/09/01

Recently a lot of you have asked me about how I've learnt Spanish. After living in Spain for nearly 4 years now I think it's actually a good point to look back and share what things I've done to get where I am now. When I came to Spain at 26 I basically spoke NO Spanish. I'd been taught Spanish at secondary school but had forgotten absolutely everything. After doing a very basic beginners course arrived in Madrid and I didn't understand ANYTHING.I'm going to tell you how I've managed to get to

Different cultures have different ways of doing things but you need to be able to adjust when needed.

2021/08/11

Acronyms are a business person's best friend. They save us time so that we don't have to say all the tricky words, which can be handy from an English learner point of view.We use them in writing and also in speaking however there are two important things to take into account. 1) Is the acronym spoken? Not always. 2) How do we say the acronym? Sometimes we say it together and sometimes we say the letters individually. There are also rather frequent mistakes to avoid that are common for Spanish

Today I share with you an exercise that I really like to do with my students as it's one of the most common things that you might be asked to do if you work on a project with English speakers or where English is the common language. I've also touched on some really nice vocab that you can use to avoid using the same-old stuff like "at the moment", "so far", "in the future. A little bit of variation is good!I suggest you get a pen a little notepad or take some notes on your device of the vocab that

I continue my series of "What I would really say...". Here are some natural expressions to use at each stage of arranging a meeting at work.

I've been working on this a lot with my students recently and wanted to share this with you.

Bored of saying "I'm busy" when someone asks you how work is going? This episode is for you. I always warm up at the beginning of any sessions by asking the question "What have you got going on this week?" or "Tell me what your week is like."

What is a dump? Funny word actually. It can mean where you put rubbish i.e a rubbish dump. It's also a synonym for poo (Nice, I know!) If you've spent any time on Instagram recently you likely have also seen the expression "photo dump".A 'photo dump' is a post which features multiple pictures. Over the past year, you've probably noticed more and more of them on your feed. You might even have posted a few yourself.I'm going to take that concept and apply it to business idioms.
