Episode 9: Birthday Culture Around the World

Hi, so you want to improve your business English skills. In order to speak like and understand native speakers, it's important to understand the business idioms which native speakers use on a daily basis. In this podcast I will use 11 business idioms. See you if you can spot them. When you hear an idiom pause the podcast and write it down, then, next to the idiom, write the word or phrase which corresponds to the meaning of the idiom. Your task is to match the idioms to their meanings. I will do the first one for you as an example. In order to organize my tasks every day I have to get my ducks in a row. So the first idiom you should write down is 'get my ducks in a row'. The word you should write next to it is 'organize.' Now, let's get down to business.

“Me suena a chino” en España quiere decir que “no entiendo nada de lo que dices”, eso me recuerda una experiencia que tuve en mi primer viaje a China cuando visité una aldea rural donde nadie hablaba inglés y mucho menos español.
