"Let's park that and circle back once we've got a ballpark."
Every word in that sentence is simple. Together, they mean something none of them mean apart - and nobody has ever explained it to you. Your English is good. Your grammar is fine. But workplaces run on a dialect that no course teaches: phrasal verbs, half-idioms, email phrases that mean the opposite of what they say, and the small signals that decide whether a message reads as friendly or furious.>WHY 150 PHRASAL VERBS, AND NOT 1,000 English has around nine thousand phrasal verbs. Most books try to teach you four hundred, a thousand, sometimes more. They are thorough, they are heavy, and almost nobody finishes them. But researchers who counted which ones people actually use found something far more useful: a small group - around a hundred and fifty - accounts for the great majority of all phrasal verb use in real English. And most have just one or two dominant meanings. So this book gives you those, grouped by the situation you'll need them in, with the workplace meaning only. We left things out on purpose. That is the method, not a shortcut. INSIDE
- 150 phrasal verbs, organised by moment - meetings, email, projects, problems, deadlines, decisions, people, money, small talk and interviews
- The video call chapter no older textbook has - bad audio, interrupting on Zoom, and the phrase that gets you a repeat without apologising
- What people actually mean - "let's circle back," "per my last email," "there's been some slippage," "we're letting you go"
- The commitment ladder - how much you just promised, and why "I'll aim to" protects you better than a confident "yes"
- The softening dial - how to disagree in English without starting something
- The Danger Zone - the phrases that will get you into trouble at work
- Your first language - targeted sections for twelve language backgrounds, including Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, Russian, French, Arabic, Hebrew, German and Mandarin
- A 30-day plan you do at work, in conversations you were having anyway
