How It Helps Your Business English
Fifty expressions used in American workplaces are explained across seven themed sections, each written as short paragraphs that put the expressions in context rather than as a bare list. Every section closes with a quick review giving each expression and its meaning in one line. An opening section explains what an idiom is and why direct translation fails.
Read a section at a time and take the themes that match your own work first, since the expressions are grouped by where you will hear them. The paragraphs show each expression inside a sentence, which is how you need to recognize it; the quick review at the end of each section is what you come back to later. Cover the review and say the meanings aloud to test what stayed.
