71. Essential Phrasal Verb: Break Down

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.

Break down is a beautiful and fascinating phrasal verb that has multiple meanings and I wanted  to share it with you. I've been looking at this phrasal verb recently in my classes and it gave me the inspiration.

Some of the meanings are very common and useful at work too. I like to teach you things that are unusual and interesting but also those where you are going to have a high ROI. Meaning if you learn them it will be worth your time and effort because we use them a lot every day.

I break down (excuse the pun!) the phrasal verb into meanings and give clear examples that you can go off and use in your conversations at home and at work.

I hope you enjoy this episode. Grab a pen or paper to write down the different meanings. I use the Spanish translations but you can write down the translation into your own language.
