Willkommen zurück im Business English Pod für die heutige Lektion Englische Kollokationen related to implementing a plan.
Im Geschäft, good planning is important, whether you’re talking about a long-term strategy or a short-term project. But a plan itself means nothing without action. It’s not what you decide to do that matters, but what you actually do. And what you actually do with a plan is called “implementation.” Implementing a plan is all about deciding who will do what, and when they will do it.
In dieser Lektion, we’ll listen in on a meeting about how to implement a marketing plan. Während der Diskussion, you’ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call “collocations.” A collocation is a natural combination or group of words. Zum Beispiel, I’ve already used the collocation “to implement a plan.” We don’t say “do a plan” or “activate a plan.” The natural expression is “to implement a plan.”
Native speakers use collocations like this automatically, and you can learn to use them as well. Durch Lernen Englische Kollokationen, Sie verbessern Ihren Wortschatz und klingen flüssiger.
