Practice Me English for Finance and Banking Professionals
Practice Me English for Finance and Banking Professionals treats financial English as a speaking skill: the vocabulary a finance professional has to say aloud without hesitating, the rules for saying figures in English, the phrases that frame good and bad news for a client, and three worked scripts for an earnings walkthrough, a portfolio review and an auditor's questions. Practice Me, which makes a speaking app, publishes it.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole guide is open on the page to anyone, with no account and no payment: the four vocabulary groups, the rules and the table for saying figures aloud, the client phrases, the three scripts, the practice suggestions and the six questions answered at the end.
How It Helps Your Business English
The vocabulary is grouped as markets and investing, financial reporting, audit and compliance, and metrics, with a note on how each abbreviation is said. A section on figures covers decimals, large numbers, basis points, currency and the phrases for movement, with a table setting what you see beside how to say it. Three scripts follow, each built as headline, drivers, outlook and caveat.
You read the scripts aloud and then rebuild them with your own figures, keeping the four-part shape, which is what holds an answer together when someone interrupts with a question. The table of spoken figures is worth saying out loud line by line, since it covers the point that catches most speakers: the decimal point, the comma, and where the scale word lands.
