Business Idioms

Speak English naturally at work: master business idioms

The Business Idioms course is perfect for professionals, job seekers, and students who want to speak more naturally and confidently in English at work. If you already know English grammar but feel your speech sounds too formal or stiff, this course will help you sound more natural and fluent like native speakers.

Why business idioms matter for professional English

Idioms are an important part of everyday English in the workplace. Native speakers use business idioms to explain ideas clearly, sound more persuasive, build stronger relationships, and make conversations more engaging. Without them, you may find it hard to follow fast discussions, contribute during meetings, or express yourself confidently in presentations and daily conversations.

By learning common business idioms, you will improve your ability to explain complex ideas, impress colleagues and managers, and speak with ease in professional situations. This course focuses on helping you go beyond correct grammar and become fluent and natural in business English.

This course teaches practical idioms you can use every day. Each lesson focuses on an important business theme, with 5–6 common idioms used by native speakers. You will learn the exact meaning of each idiom, with examples and helpful explanations.

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