TOP TIP! - Best ways to learn new business vocabulary

Here is another practical tip to help you learn basic Business English vocabulary effectively, especially if you are a beginner:

Learn vocabulary by business situations, not isolated words
Learning words without context makes them easy to forget and hard to use correctly. Business English is highly situational, so your vocabulary should match real workplace scenarios. How to do it in practice:
• Choose one business situation at a time (e.g., meetings, emails, presentations).
• Learn 10-15 words that commonly appear in that situation.
• Visualize yourself in that situation while learning.
Example (Meetings):
• agenda - “Let's review the agenda.”
• minutes - “I'll send the meeting minutes.”
• deadline - “The deadline is next Monday.”
• action item - “This is an action item for the sales team.”
Why it works:
Your brain links words to situations, so when you're in a meeting, the right words come naturally.
