This is the second in our two-part Business English Pod series on strategically using vague language. Last time we covered being vague to make a polite excuse or to avoid sounding arrogant. We saw how you can use vague language to create flexibility.

Today we’ll work on referring to vague numbers and learn language you can use when you don’t remember the name of someone or something. You’ll also practice some more strategic uses of vague language, such as avoiding socially inappropriate or impolite topics.

BEP 51 – 모호한 언어 사용 (부분 1)

비즈니스 영어, ESL 팟캐스트, 기능, 중급 영어 /

오늘은 모호한 언어 사용에 관한 두 부분으로 구성된 비즈니스 영어 팟캐스트 수업의 첫 번째입니다.. “희미한” 명확하게 정의되지 않았다는 뜻. 예를 들어, 누군가에게 지금 몇 시냐고 물으면 그 사람은 이렇게 말합니다. “에 대한 7 그 쯤,” 그들은 모호해. 모호한 데에는 다 이유가 있다. 때로는 어떤 정보를 모르거나 그 정보가 중요하지 않기 때문에 모호하게 말할 필요가 있을 때가 있습니다.. 때로는 모호한 말이 더 정중할 때도 있어요.

이 두 에피소드에서, 막연하게 말하는 방법을 알아보겠습니다, 하지만 상황에 따라 다른 스타일이 필요합니다. 문화에 대한 지식을 활용해야 합니다., 당신이 다루고 있는 사람과 상황에 따라 어떤 스타일이 가장 적합한지 결정하세요.. 우리의 목표는 다양한 환경에서 성공하는 데 필요한 커뮤니케이션 도구를 제공하는 것입니다.. 향후 에피소드에서는, we’ll also be looking at other styles of speaking.

You’ll be listening to Jen and Mike, two employees at Nexus communications. Jen is inviting Mike to a party.

듣기 질문

1) What do you think Jen means by “ulterior motive?”
2) Is Mike a computer expert?

BEP 49 – 부정적인 답글을 부드럽게하기 (부분 1)

A2, 비즈니스 영어, ESL 팟캐스트, 기능, 중급 영어 /

This is the first in a two-part Business English Podcast lesson on softening negative replies – saying “아니” politely.

“아니” is one of the strongest words in any language. Because it carries so much force, “아니” is hard to say politely. Yet giving a negative reply, disagreeing or refusing a request are all things we have to do on a daily basis. So it’s important to learn how to say “아니” in a way that enables you to maintain good relationships. In many cases this requires you to take a softer and more indirect approach. So today we’ll work on ways to soften negative replies in a variety of everyday situations.

In the dialog we meet up again with Nicholas Fisher, the European sales director for Harper-Tolland from BEP 35 과 36. He is flying into Kiev to support local sales staff by meeting with a large potential customer, Avitek. This is a Ukrainian company that manufactures cargo and firefighting aircraft. In our dialog, Nick is being met at the airport by Harper-Tolland’s sales manager in the Ukraine, Oksana Ivanchuk.

듣기 질문

1) Has Nick been to the Ukraine before?
2) What day of the week is it?
