About this episode

THIS IS AN ANNA WITH 2Ns EPISODE BEFORE I REBRANDED TO CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH. I RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH EPISODES. You have been requesting phrasal and so this is the first one I am going to do focused on some advanced but very useful phrasal verbs. Before we jump into lots of definitions I want to take a step back and look at some of the logic. Yes, phrasal verbs CAN make sense if you look at them in a certain way and focus on certain things. I will tell you about a very helpful way to learn them and a preview of next week's episode. Think of this as a phrasal verb foundation which we will draw on in future episodes.    Come and Say HelloLinkedIn Questions, thoughts or just want to say hello?
