    She is an excellent English language teacher. In a world where globalised business, etc, will be the norm, it will become critical to not only have basic command of English, the current international 'lingua franca' that has replaced the former French, but to also be familiar with its many idiomatic expressions and phrsal verbs that baffle many otherwise fairly fluent speakers of English as a second language or native speakers of other English dialects, like Americans. Welcome to Australian idiomatic English usage we assume everybody understands. We have so many such uniquely Australian expression they fill an entire dictionary. We are not even aware of the effect this has on other speakers and wonder why they 'just don't twig onto' what we are tring to say. We conclude they must be 'pretty dense'. And, if they still don't 'get us', and 'what we're on about', we have some stronger Australian language to describe such people who 'just don't get it', like 'dim wit', 'block head', 'got nothing between their ears', plus a few more idiomatic expressions too graphic and obscene to mention here, typically used in advanced, by now, ANGRY, stages of defective communication.

    Hi, Lisa. Tks 4 yr adorable videos. Whenever I feel like learning new idioms and phrasal verbs, I turn to you. In the nutshell, I have been writing your precious explanation, so that I have them (idioms and phrasal verbs) in flash cards for me to see them every now and then, and I try to use them in contexts as I write to friends who happen to teach or enjoy English. Back in the 80s I took the TOEFL in California and have shared it with my pupils who were to take the test. In order to garner more knowledge , I have memorized all idioms in context by Helen K. Fragiadakis´ All Clear. Now, with the "inernet" as Americans say it, we are lucky to have awesome teachers like you to guide and lead us. A special Thank-you from Brazil. Keep up the good work, please!

  • @joebloggs619
    @joebloggs619 5 месяцев назад +2

    What I observe and find interesting about English idiomatic business English usage is the number of idioms that involve reference to competitiveness and sports eg 'ball', 'ball park', 'catch up'. And ones that are downright violent, aggressive eg 'axe', 'hammer', 'hit', 'trigger'. And if they are not violent, aggressive, competitive, they make reference to things like power, size eg 'elephant'. The psychology of language is fascinating and can tell ys much about the speaker that thry are not explictly revealing about thrmselves, but a perceptive linguist will quickly pick up and use this to assess the personality type they are interacting with.

    @marvelouss719 8 месяцев назад +3

    I used "think outside the box" in one of my graduate research papers and my professor asked me what I had meant. Idioms are most useful in casual conversations and not in formal writing, such as a research paper. At least that was my take away.

    • @Blacktsalagi73
      @Blacktsalagi73 7 месяцев назад +1

      That depends on what your professor actually meant.
      Did they mean: What "you" meant by the expression or what "the expression" (itself) meant?
      One of the differences when writing would be to reinforce the expression with a brief contextual phrase or clause.
      If not, then perhaps a research paper might not be a good idea when writing.
      In the business world, whether or not you use them, not understanding them can be a challenge regarding comprehension.

    • @marvelouss719
      @marvelouss719 7 месяцев назад +1

    Today we have a lot on our plate: our sales fell, lost market share and laid off many of our workers.
    To address the problem we have to think outside the box and put ourselves on the cutting edge. But without having the ballpark figure of the initial cost we can’t get the ball rolling on our restructuring . The bottom line is to carry out an assessment in order not to put all our eggs in basket.
    This is the only way that we can put all the team members on the same page.
    Through accurate information every one of us will go to the extra mile if the data analysts cross the t’s and dot the i’s during the data analysis and presentation. The employees are to hit the nail on the head and should not keep the elephant in the room.
    The CEO should also cover all the bases to play catch-up the market trends not to play it by ear.
    Putting out the fires and getting the green light from the board of directors is crucial too. Otherwise everything will be up in the air.Therefore,everyone has to avoid going down in the hole of the rabbit and pick the low-hanging fruit.
    Finally anyone who drops the ball on the deadline of their tasks will get the axe.

    Hi Lisa, I really enjoy your videos! I've been wondering about something - as someone who speaks International English, do you think it's worth actively learning and using expressions, idioms, and phrases? Personally, I feel like keeping it simple and straightforward works better, especially when talking to someone like a business contact from Dubai whose first language might not be English. Using complex phrases seems a bit unnecessary, and honestly, it can sound a bit odd if other elements, such as pronunciation, grammar and syntax, etc, aren't spot on. What's your take on this?
