22 Business English Acronyms & Abbreviations You NEED

MY SOCIAL MEDIA:

Do you want to improve your pronunciation? I have launched my British English (Modern RP) pronunciation course! I’ll train you to read phonetic transcriptions, and produce each sound that comprises modern received pronunciation. I’ll also teach you how to implement the correct use of intonation, stress, rhythm, connected speech, and much more. We’ll compare similar sounds, and look at tricky topics like the glottal stop and the dark L.
Technically, I need to mark this as an AD even though it is my own company so - AD :)

Hi, Lucy :)
I was so pleased to see Russian currency in your video) But I think something goes wrong with the cost of business course because 1179$ it’s not the same as 7599 rub, it’s around 75999 rub. It would be so generously, if it costed like that))
With love from Russia, and thank you a lot for your video c:
