LearnEnglish.life English for Accounting Key Terms and Phrases
LearnEnglish.life English for Accounting Key Terms and Phrases sets out more than thirty accounting terms in tables by statement, each with a definition and an example sentence, then adds a month-end close dialogue between a senior and a junior accountant, a section on the mistakes speakers of other languages make in accounting English, and three exercises with an answer key. The guide states that it is written for B1 to B2 learners working in finance.
100% Free (unlimited): Every part of the guide is on the one open page, with no account and no payment: the vocabulary tables, the dialogue, the error sections, the three exercises and the answer key below them, and the questions answered at the end.
How It Helps Your Business English
Tables group the terms by core vocabulary, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, and a second table shows which account types a debit or a credit increases. The close dialogue is followed by the phrases taken from it. The error sections cover false friends, grammar, and the prepositions that go with charge, account, allocate, deduct and write off.
You work through the tables for the statement you handle most, then read the dialogue aloud to hear how the terms sound in a conversation between colleagues under a deadline. The false-friend table is worth keeping if your own language has a word that looks like an English accounting term, and the exercises at the end let you check what has stayed, with the answers set out underneath.
