Our dialogues are written by a lawyer and experienced teacher of business English from the UK.

These two books of 40 business dialogues cover a wide range of topics and use useful, everyday business English. This really is how native speakers speak at work – when chatting with colleagues and in meetings. Every dialogue includes a vocabulary list and comprehension questions with suggested answers. Some of the dialogues are fun and even funny – because it’s easier to work at your English if you’re not feeling bored. We have four books of Everyday English Dialogues too – for when you’re not at work but still need to speak English.
