Speak English Now through mini-stories with teacher Georgiana

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of the podcast. I'm Georgiana, your English teacher, and my mission is to help you speak English fluently. 

And if you want to help me, share the podcast. That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Ok! We'll start with a brief conversation that includes the top 10 business expressions.

And to make learning more fun, I've taken inspiration from 'The Office' TV show. And you'll learn grammar in context with a point of view story.

Let's get started!

Jack walked into the office and said...

Jack: "Wow, this place looks familiar. It's like I'm in 'The Office' TV show."

Pam: "Yeah, Jack, we get that a lot. We like to think outside the box here."

Jim: "You're right, Pam! We're

always brainstorming new ideas to stay ahead of the competition."

Jack: "That's great to hear. I'm ready to get the ball rolling and take it to the next level."

Pam: "Good to hear. But make sure to touch base with your boss consistently. It's important to stay in the loop and keep him updated on your progress.

Jack: "Definitely. I want to make sure we're all on the same page following best practices for team collaboration."

Michael: "And we need people like you to keep an eye on the details."

Jack: "Thanks for the advice. At the end of the day, it's all about producing high-quality work and making a difference."

Pam: "Absolutely. This may feel like a TV set, but it's a real community of people. Welcome aboard!"
