Business English Vocabulary Builder: Powerful Idioms, Sayings and Expressions to Make You Sound Smarter in Business!

Great resource

The publisher of this book, Lingo Mastery, does a marvelous in helping English-speaking individuals in learning a foreign language; or as in my case, refresh an individual's knowledge of one, which is German. But, while learning how to speak a foreign is a wonderful asset to have, the truth is that one DOES NOT know a foreign language unless you know its idiomatic expressions.Case in point, Not too long after graduating college where I took German, during the Steuben Parade in New York City, I had asked two of the participants who could speak English a few questions, after which I had started to walk away. As I did, one turned to the other and in German said, "Franz, look at the stupid American and their stupid questions." Hearing this, I turned around and walked back to them and gave them my response in German, which probably had surprised them, which was: "Excuse me. I heard what you said about me, and I've got one thing to say to you." Using an idiomatic expression, I politely told them that they should kiss a specific part of my anatomy. Being shocked by my remark, they instantaneously began to apologize and then wanted to know what my name was, and with force, I gave them my answer.There's a sizeable amount of powerful idioms, axioms, and jargons in the business world that can change the way your colleagues will perceive you as being. It can transform a person from being a simpleton to that of being an expert in any specific component that they might be engaged in working at.Here in the US, for example, are some expressions which might perplex individuals outside of the business world:If you BITE THE BULLET, you're not biting the bullet. Instead, you're deciding to do something that is difficult and which you have been delaying because it is unpleasant or too consuming.To have ONE'S VOICE HEARD has nothing the loudness of their voice. Instead, it's to ensure that your opinions, thoughts, or views on something are noticed, accepted, and then acted upon.If you're IN HOT WATER, you're not taking a bath. Instead, you're in trouble for doing something that you shouldn't have done.And to KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER has nothing to do with swimming. Instead, it's to survive a difficult situation without becoming overwhelmed, and/or, failing entirely.For someone to succeed in the business world, individuals need to become knowledgeable regarding the use of its idioms, which is why I've given the publisher, Lingo Mastery, 5 STARS for their endeavor in wanting individuals to begin to master the use of the business world jargon.

The book is a list of idioms used in English Business language ( but not only there), put in alphabetical order.The explanation of the meaning of the idioms is fairly easy to understand and should be fine for someone at an intermediate level of learning English.Each idiom also has a short dialogue showing how the idiom could be used.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am a native English speaker learning another language, and because of that I speak to many people who are trying to learn the English language. This was the motivation for me to read this book.There are many expressions within the book that we, as Americans, use in daily conversation without a second thought. These expressions, however, pose a very real challenge for learners of our language. This book does an excellent job in explaining them and using them in a very understandable way.BTW - I "bought" this book when it was offered at no charge on Amazon. It would definitely be worth its small price to a learner of the English language.

Do not waste your money on this book, the items in here are very basic and should be retitled. These terms are not business language but rather just general statements and language most people should know and understand to survive life, not business.

Congratulations! I liked the way the book was delivered. No dislike at all.

Idioms are always fun to learn. These may be business specific, but they're still just as clever! Lingo Mastery is always pulling out all the stops with simple books and that's probably why they're so affordable. Look no further than this one for standard business idioms even if you're not involved in the business world! Alphabetical, Explanation, and an Example. I love the simplicity!

Good learning material. You can quickly brush up all those useful phrases in your memory and practise using them. Although, I think, the information about the origin of those phrases is not always accurate.
