BEP 27 – Treffen: Stellungnahmen auf Englisch abgeben

For an updated lesson on Meinungen auf Englisch ausdrücken, Kasse:
BEP 327 – Meinungen auf Englisch ausdrücken

In this intermediate Business English Pod Lektion, we look at ways to give and ask for opinions. We’ll be looking at the formal (oder vorsichtig) language often used in meetings, as well as the more informal (or direct) language used in casual discussions.

This lesson is the first in a regular series of intermediate level podcasts focused on functional Business English language. Each podcasts will introduce and explain how to use a particular type, or function, of language (z.B. expressing an opinion, making a suggestion or clarifying information etc.). These podcasts are also designed to support our more challenging advanced level episodes by breaking down the featured language into smaller, more easily understood chunks.

The BusinessEnglishPod.com team wishes all our listeners a successful and rewarding New Year and we look forward to bringing you many more Business English Podcasts in the months to come.
