Business English in Questions – CORPORATE FINANCE

Learning a language must be done in a context because grammar rules only or lists of vocabulary. However, they are not sufficient to build sentences, paragraphs etc. If you already know the word or phrase, you want to use it in a wider context.

Conversations based on questions 

are an excellent method to use in practice both your knowledge of phrases and grammar. What is more, at the same time you can exchange opinions with another speaker, brainstorm ideas, etc.
