About this episode

Do you have to talk about things that aren't going well? Do you have to tell someone they haven't done something the right way? This can be a very common interaction at work that is often not practiced. This can make the conversation more difficult and not flow very well in English. I cover key vocabulary you can use to deliver constructive criticism and several examples in context that you can take and use in your day-to-day work.
