About this episode

Send Chris a message

Answering questions at work in English can be difficult. Today's podcast is about How to Answer Questions at work. We discuss some great, professional vocabulary, some natural and native sounding examples, the grammar that you need to know, and how these phrases change depending on the situation and context. So if you use English as a second language to communicate and answer questions at work then I hope you'll find this podcast useful. 

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don't forget, if you want to work with me in one on one, private sessions then I am a full time Business English coach and tutor. I spend my whole professional life helping international professionals to improve the way that they communicate at work. If you'd like to book some of my time, listen right to the end of the podcast to find out how you can get on my schedule.
