One fifth of humankind speaks, is speaking or trying to study English at this very moment. Most of them struggle to acquire the general terms and expressions but some have to widen their vocabulary and knowledge as they have to learn business English.
Fortunately the coursebooks developed in this field are very up-to-date and contain a lot of useful terms, words and tasks but at the same time it is worth to have a look at what the internet can provide us if we are keen on to learn more. Websites to learn business English.
This website is great for you if you like learning on your own. It provides you exercises connected to vocabulary (IT, medical expressions, sales and marketing etc.) The layout of the page is very clear and it is easy to use. You can choose immediately the type of task you would like to practice no matter it is a reading or listening comprehension or a grammar quiz.
If you haven’t fallen in love with BBC shows and serials-which are also great ways of improving your English, it is high time you had a look at this website. Though it is not only a business English page, the content is excellent. Besides business English materials there are short lessons that introduce London, six-minute-long lessons that usually reflect on daily news. You can do quizzes, learn slang or listen to pronunciation tips. It is simply great.
Though this site is not strictly connected only to business, as it deals with interesting news of the world, I think the exercises and tasks are very useful. There are online exercises connected to vocabulary and sentence formation, there are reading and listening comprehension tasks, and all you have to do is to search for an article that is related to economy, business English or world news.
For those who love their gadgets this site seems brilliant. Though you have to pay a membership fee in order to use their services you can take a free trial before you actually decide whether to join or not. The podcast list is very long: negotiations, meetings, presentations, management, communication and so on. You can also utilize your eBooks with a weekly lesson that also contain an mp3 file or watch Online Vocab Video Tv.
