business terms and specialized jargon.
General business terms are those used throughout the business world.
These are common phrases often used in meetings, proposals, and
presentations. These are quite easy to learn, using the same Effortless
English™ methods you are already using.
The Easy Way To Learn Business English
Learning business English is simply a matter of selecting real materials that
are related to business topics. In other words, you use the exact same
Effortless English™ method.
First you focus on fuel, your psychology. You change your limiting
beliefs. You put yourself into a peak emotional state. Then you use the
seven Rules. You spend most of your time listening. You learn deeply. You
avoid grammar books and textbooks. You listen to mini stories and point of
view stories — choosing stories about business topics that use business
English vocabulary.
For extra listening, listen to real business English materials such as
business podcasts, business newscasts, and business audiobooks. When
possible, get both the text and audio versions. Read and listen
simultaneously.
Just as you did with general English, choose materials that are interesting
to you. If you are a salesperson, choose materials related to sales. If your
area is finance, then focus on audios and text related to finance.
You have nothing special to do. Just follow the same Effortless English™
system, using business materials.
Learn Specialized Jargon Last
Some fields of business have a large number of specialized words. This
specialized vocabulary is called “jargon.” For example, accountants have a
large number of accounting terms which are used extensively in their jobs.
This specialized vocabulary is vital for accountants.
