In case we haven’t met...
My name is Christina Jones and I am a Business English Coach.
That means I help people develop the mindset, habits and language skills they need to communicate with confidence at work. I’m originally from the US (Denver, Colorado to be exact) but I’ve been living in Seville, Spain since 2005. In that time, I’ve worked with hundreds of language learners and even managed a language school where we prepared students for external qualifications.
One of the things many of our students told us was that while they felt comfortable using English in the classroom and in academic situations, they often felt unprepared to use English in professional contexts because they aren’t often covered in general English exams.
So, in 2021, I left the language school and started coaching business professionals online. In that time, I’ve worked with dozens of students one on one and caught a glimpse into what they perceive as their problems with English.
One of those problems is that they often feel unprofessional when they have to use English and worry that their clients, colleagues and managers are judging them based on the English they are using.
One of the reasons for this is that they have never really learned phrases and vocabulary associated with common business situations. So, in our coaching sessions, we set out to fill the gaps in their vocabulary knowledge to help them feel more confident and professional communicating in English at work.
After a while, I realized that many of my clients had problems with the same situations, so I decided to compile all my lists of phrases together into one long phrasebook, organized by context and complete with translations. That’s how this phrasebook was born.
Who the phrasebook is for:
- Professionals who currently or potentially use English in the workplace.
- English users with a high-intermediate (B2+) level will benefit most.
- Learners with B1 level will also benefit, but will also need to focus on general English.
How to use it:
I’ve categorized different business situations into separate sections.
- You can start with any section and focus on what is most relevant to you.
- You can use it as reference or as a study guide. Remember that the most effective way to learn new language is to actually usethe language.
- You can try role playing situations with trusted colleagues, speaking out loud to yourself or even writing dialogues or “reports” for yourself in English.
