Learn Business English :: Business English Pod Episodes - | BEP 81 INT - Meetings: Finishing Up and Action Points | It's the end of a meeting, and everyone wants to go, but wait! We have one last thing to do: Action points. That means: Tell everyone who is going to do what, and when. Having no clear action points is a number one reason meetings are unproductive. So in this episode, we'll study language we can use to assign work to people, and also some phrases to finish off the meeting. As you listen, pay attention to how the boss, Lisa, gives action points to her team, that is, reminds them of what they need to do. | to send to friends | Download BEP 81 INT - Meetings: Finishing Up and Action Points | Play in Popup.

It's something all of us need to do: Whether it's for a company business trip, or for personal travel - we all need to, at some time or another, call a hotel to reserve a room. Of course, making reservations is not only useful for hotels but also for all sorts of situations - conferences, restaurants, airplane travel, and any other type of event that requires us to book in advance. That is the skill that we will be practicing in this episode - making reservations. Along the way, we'll also be learning vocabulary for staying in hotels. | to send to friends | Download BEP 79 INT - Travel: Making a Hotel Reservation | Play in Popup.

| BEP 73 ADV - Idioms: Business is War (Part 1) | Business and war. War and business. It?s no accident that many business strategies and management techniques were first developed in the military. Actually, it?s quite natural that we think about business competition in terms of war. Companies fight each other for market share. We strategize about how to win the battle. You try to attack my market position, and I defend it. Business is full of such war idioms. Though it?s not the only way we think about business, it is certainly the main way we talk about it. Therefore, to communicate effectively in a business environment, we need to learn these war idioms.
That?s what we?ll be doing in this two-part Business English Podcast lesson. | to send to friends | Download BEP 73 ADV - Idioms: Business is War (Part 1) | Play in Popup.

| BEP 71 ADV - Mergers: Office Gossip and Reported Speech | This is the second in a two-part Business English Podcast lesson that follows some of the internal discussions that take place in a company going through a merger.
Today?s episode focuses on casual office conversation and gossip. Office gossip is a type of informal conversation in which we tell secrets or rumors about other people or other departments. Gossip is often called water cooler chitchat, since the water cooler is where colleagues meet by chance and discuss things that are happening in the office. You might also want to review some of our previous shows on socializing for more language to use in these types of conversations. | to send to friends | Download BEP 71 ADV - Mergers: Office Gossip and Reported Speech | Play in Popup.
