How It Helps Your Business English
Two hosts talk through starting a conversation with a colleague in English: opening lines, asking someone for an update on their work, sharing news of your own, and keeping the exchange going without intruding. The episode runs about seven minutes and is spoken in both American and British accents, so the same phrases are heard in two varieties.
You can listen once for the shape of the conversation and again for the phrases themselves, which the hosts repeat in both accents. At seven minutes it works as a single listening session before a day at work. Hearing the same opening lines in two varieties of English trains your ear for colleagues who speak either one.
