About this episode

I'm starting a new series of episodes focused on essential business phrasal verbs you need to know. Phrasal verbs are just part and parcel of communicating in the workplace and through these episodes I want to help you get a better understanding. In this first episode I break down one of the best ways to approach learning phrasal and go into depth about a pair of important phrasal verbs to add to your vocabulary or know what they mean when your team or colleagues say them. Enjoy! Anna
