5.0 out of 5 stars
Expressway to talk business,
By Hong Xin (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biz Talk 2 (tape) (Audio Cassette)
Biz-Talk 2 is a great book for new business workers or foreigners to learn how to use business slang and Jargon in a real work time. There is so many examples of slang, Jargon, explaination, pronunciation, exercises in the book, and the tape is specially for improve learner's listening comprehension and emphasize learner's memory for the news words. I felt in love with it immediently and had learned a lot of business slang and jargon. If he has another book and tape for formal business writing and speech, I would like to have it too. I want to introduce his book to my other friends. I am sure they will be happy about it. By the way, it's not that easy to find it, I mean you have to do a lot of research. Plus most stores have no this book in store.
