BUSINESS ETIQUETTE | GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

It is a common courtesy to greet both customers and visitors to your business in a friendly and professional manner. It is also common sense that most companies expect their employees to act professionally and to pay great attention to how they greet visitors.

In any business situation, but especially in an international setting and when communicating in a foreign language, it is imperative that you also pay attention to the societal norms of different cultures and their customs.

For instance, in most western cultures, the handshake is a common greeting which is also used to conclude business dealings. In American culture, the handshake is a sign that a deal has been agreed upon by all parties, and politicians from all countries vie for the obligatory handshake photo opportunity with visiting dignitaries.

Learn more about the handshake and other greetings in episode 2 of BizPod.

In the moment for the moment,

One Minute Speaking Challenge: Gratefulness.

Learning Italian can feel exciting… and sometimes, a little confusing — right? 💭
Especially when you come across expressions that sound almost the same,
but actually mean something a bit different.

Today, we’re looking at one of those classic Italian pairs:
👉 “Quanto costa” and “Quant’è.”

Both are super common when you’re out shopping, ordering a coffee, or paying the bill —
but they’re not always used in the same way.

So, if you’ve ever hesitated between the two… don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone.
Let’s break it down together, step by step.

🟢 In this episode, we’ll explore the meaning, the grammar, and the usage of both expressions —
with examples and a bit of cultural context,
so you can confidently use them in real-life conversations.
