How is business English different?
For many learners, business English can sometimes feel like a totally different language to standard English. There are so many idioms and phrases that are specific to the world of work and if you don't know them, you can feel lost and overwhelmed. Not only is there a whole new set of vocabulary to learn, we also have to think about the formality and tone of our words. We must consider the context we are in before making decisions on word choice and sentence structure. Getting the right tone is critically important in business communication and knowing how to write formally and informally will stand any learner in good stead.
Who is this book for?
This book is for anyone who uses English as part of their working life. Whether you are a hotel receptionist in Bali or a marketing executive in Italy, this book is for you.
English has become the tool for global business communication and it's essential learners stay up-to-date with the language that is used in the modern-day workplaces of the world. It will be hugely beneficial to newer English learners who want to learn the foundations of business English.
It will also act as a fantastic resource for more proficient speakers who want to hone their communication skills and add a wealth of authentic business-specific words and phrases to their vocabulary.
