How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The post opens with advice on keeping a clear, calm message during a crisis, then gives ten expressions with a definition and an example sentence: action plan, contingency plan, lose one's nerve, cope with the fallout, knock-on effect, crisis communication plan, information flow, press briefing, restore confidence and handle. A table gives the Spanish for each.

How to use this resource:

You read each definition with its example sentence, so you see how the expression sits in a real meeting. You can say the examples aloud and then use them to talk about a crisis in your own company. The Spanish table lets you check an expression against your own language before you use it, and the episode on the same page gives you the pronunciation and the stress of every phrase.
