Great communication and a good knowledge of business English is essential to developing your career, however this is even more true when we work from home! Working remotely, whether you're a digital nomad, location independent worker, or have a hybrid job, is more common than ever before. In this episode we look at some great business English vocabulary to talk about working from home, including idioms and phrasal verbs to help you sound more native and natural when you speak and write in English. We hear a natural and native sounding conversation about working remotely, and we finish with a quiz to find out how much of this new vocabulary you've remembered. 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. You can book some of my time at www.breakoutbusinessenglish.com and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Let's talk today about how to give feedback at work, especially if you use English as a second language in the workplace and are not a native English speaker.

Giving feedback to your colleagues, your staff, and your managers, is an essential part of a great team. However, so few people actually do it! We often think of feedback as a scary thing that is reserved for end of year performance reviews and appraisals. However, the best teams in the world make both negative and positive feedback a key part of their company culture.

Today we’re going to hear some tips and ideas for how to give feedback to your colleagues. We’ll hear some great natural and native sounding vocabulary that we can use to do this, and then we’ll finish off with some challenges for you. Including a speaking challenge and a vocabulary quiz to see what you’ve remembered from today’s podcast.
