Speak English naturally and build confidence in the workplace

The Business Idioms course is perfect for professionals, job seekers, or students who want to communicate more naturally and confidently in English. If you already have a good foundation in English grammar but feel your speech sounds too formal or stiff, this course will help you take your language skills to the next level.

Idioms and metaphors are a huge part of everyday communication in international business settings. Native speakers use idiomatic expressions to sound persuasive, engaging, and relatable. If you don’t understand these phrases, you might struggle to keep up in meetings, presentations, or casual workplace conversations. By learning common Business English idioms, you’ll be able to express complex ideas more clearly and impress clients, colleagues, and managers.

In this course, each lesson focuses on a key business theme and introduces 5–6 useful idioms that are regularly used by native English speakers in professional environments. You’ll learn:

• The meaning of each idiom
• How to use it naturally in conversations, emails, or presentations

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Do a challenging practice exercise to test your understanding
• Answer discussion questions to encourage speaking practice

Key topics include:

• Hard work
• Success
• Failure
• Progress
• Control

Whether you’re preparing for a business English speaking test, such as the GBC, improving your professional communication, or simply looking to sound more fluent and confident, Business Idioms is an excellent choice. This course is also a valuable complement to more general business English training programs.

After completing this course, you’ll be able to understand native speakers more easily and use idioms to sound more persuasive, natural, and impressive in your professional life
