Learn business English through conversations

You can make simple sentences. The next step is using them in an exchange with another person.

Start with a smaller task

“Improve my business English” is too broad for one session. Today, clarify which of two quotes a colleague needs and agree when to send it. A specific task makes the missing language easier to notice.

1. Clarify a request, negotiate a time, repair a misunderstanding
2. Agree ownership and the next step
3. When comfortable speaking, practise judgement and influence

Choose one observable outcome

Count what your listener can now understand: which version, what time, which missing information. Keep a recording, then return later and respond without the model.
