Business English Pod Finance and Accounting Lessons
Business English Pod Finance and Accounting Lessons gathers the podcast lessons this site has published on the language of money, newest first and running to three pages. Each lesson is built on a recorded dialogue between colleagues at work, with listening questions before it and an explanation of the expressions afterwards. The lessons cover budgeting, company performance, taxes, audits, selling financial services, idioms about money and the economic news.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: Each lesson page carries its audio player and the MP3 of the episode, both open to anyone, with the listening questions and the introduction to the dialogue. The PDF transcript, the quizzes, the PhraseCast and the lesson module for a given lesson are kept for premium members.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page opens with a note on what the lessons cover, from essential subjects through to macroeconomics, bonds, stocks and corporate taxes, then lists the lessons themselves. Recent titles include two parts on discussing an audit, three on selling financial services, two on pitching and comparing an opportunity, two on company performance, two on taxes and two on money idioms.
You pick the lesson whose situation you meet at work, read the listening questions, then listen to the dialogue twice: once for the answers and once for the way the speakers put things. The explanation that follows takes the word combinations out of the dialogue one by one, so you hear a phrase such as audit findings in a real conversation before you meet it as a term.
