Learn Business English: Negotiations - Vocabulary, Listening & Speaking

Do you freeze when a negotiation suddenly switches to English? This lesson fixes exactly that. In about 20 minutes you’ll build the practical English you need to make an offer, push back politely, break a deadlock, and close a deal — the language professionals actually use at the table. This is Episode 2 of the Business English Course, made for B1–B2 learners who use English at work. Everything is in clear American English, with pauses so you can repeat each word and sentence out loud. What you’ll learn: • 15 core negotiation words — negotiation, offer, counteroffer, proposal, terms, deal, compromise, concession, trade-off, leverage, priorities, interests, deadlock, alternative, flexible • 5 essential phrases — reach an agreement, meet someone halfway, make a concession, stand your ground, walk away from the table • 4 real-world idioms — drive a hard bargain, split the difference, sweeten the deal, a win-win • A short listening text, “The Shape of a Negotiation,” that puts every word in context • A 20-sentence speaking drill you can use in your very next meeting How to get the most from this lesson: Don’t just watch — speak. Say every word and sentence out loud during the pauses. Fifteen minutes a day beats three hours once a week, because language lives in habit.
