La Fontaine de sang

Today we're talking about a phrase that we can use to discuss hobbies, interests, or background, that we share with our colleagues. This phrase is to have things "in common". We also discuss a common mistake that international English speakers make when using this word. I hope you find it useful!

If you're trying to improve the way that you communicate in English at work then feel free to book some of my time, it would be great to meet you. See you soon!
