How to RESCHEDULE and talk about TIME - ...

About this episode

Send Chris a message

Rescheduling events and talking about time in English can be hard when speaking English, especially if you're not a native English speaker. In this podcast we talk about how to schedule and reschedule events, appointments, and meetings, how to sound more polite when doing this in spoken English at work, and pronunciation. We talk about how to ask people about times and their availability. We look at phrasal verbs, idioms, formal, and informal language, and you'll hear some great natural and native sounding examples of spoken English, using all of this new vocabulary. 

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really 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 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.
