Chris - Breakout Business English
About this episode

Send Chris a message

Let's discuss some Business English vocabulary and grammar that we can use to lead meetings. Running a meeting or being in charge of an event often means that you have new responsibilities and today's podcast we’re discussing the professional vocabulary and phrases that you can use to talk to your colleagues and managers about what is happening during your meeting. We’ll talk about starting meetings, avoiding delays, staying on track, and also give you some natural and native sounding words and phrases to help you sound more natural and native when speaking English at work.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals. If you’d like to book some time to meet with me through one to one video calls, then you can go to:
