123. 5 Nightmare Business Verbs for Spanish Speakers

22 min • 9 februari 2022

THIS IS AN ANNA WITH 2Ns EPISODE BEFORE I REBRANDED TO CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH. I RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH EPISODES.
These are 5 business verbs that I hear the most mistakes from. I wanted to do this episode after correcting these verbs so many times and wanting to share these with. These ones are common business verbs so definitely worth your time to get them right. Much more worthwhile than learning 10 expressions. Trust me.

P.s In the episode I said that there were no phrasal verbs on the list - I lied. Hehe. There was one at the end.

Enjoy! Anna
