I've noticed recently that connectors are a really important part of expressing yourself in English at work. I wanted to share some thoughts on this and tell you about some of the things Spanish speakers get wrong with connectors.  

Enjoy! Anna

This episode was suggested by Victor who is a listener and has been a supporter of the podcast for while - thank you for the idea. I chose this one because I thought it would be very useful to you as meetings as something that all of us have to face at work, therefore it's good use of your time to learn the correct ways to talk about them. I really hope you like the episode at the end I've got a word, phrase or structure that hardly anybody uses but everyone should. 

Enjoy! Anna

I've been looking forward to doing this episode for a long time. Nearly all jobs have to work with some form of numbers, figures, data or even emails and telephone numbers but this is something that a lot of people don't ever practice. In this episode I give you a brief overview of some key points to remember, common mistakes to avoid and some surprising differences between English and Spanish. 

Enjoy! Anna

I'm going to share with you some really common questions that you can use to ask in different business situations such as offering more help, asking people to do things, checking if something is viable, double checking etc. Questions are really important in the workplace, we need to get things done and to do that we need to ask questions. Definitely not one to miss. 

Enjoy! Anna

There are different roles in a meeting but leading a meeting is perhaps the most important. You've got to welcome and introduce people, kick off, keep the flow of the meeting going and make sure that people contribute and stick to the agenda. This is nothing new in your own language but in English I know it might feel overwhelming at times when you have 5 people staring at you waiting for the meeting to start. Let me help you with some core vocabulary for each phase of standard business meeting.

Enjoy! Anna
